Hubble: a Model Suite to Advance the Study of LLM Memorization

ICLR 2026oral

We present Hubble, a suite of open-source large language models (LLMs) for the scientific study of LLM memorization. Hubble models come as minimal pairs: standard models are pretrained on a large English corpus, and perturbed models are trained in the same way but with controlled insertion of text (…

Estimating Privacy Leakage of Augmented Contextual Knowledge in Language Models

ACL 2025long

Language models (LMs) rely on their parametric knowledge augmented with relevant contextual knowledge for certain tasks, such as question answering. However, the contextual knowledge can contain private information that may be leaked when answering queries, and estimating this privacy leakage is not…

Differentially Private Knowledge Distillation via Synthetic Text Generation

ACL 2024findings

Large Language models (LLMs) are achieving state-of-the-art performance in many different downstream tasks. However, the increasing urgency of data privacy puts pressure on practitioners to train LLMs with Differential Privacy (DP) on private data. Concurrently, the exponential growth in parameter s…

Differentially Private Next-Token Prediction of Large Language Models

NAACL 2024long

Ensuring the privacy of Large Language Models (LLMs) is becoming increasingly important. The most widely adopted technique to accomplish this is DP-SGD, which trains a model to guarantee Differential Privacy (DP). However, DP-SGD overestimates an adversary’s capabilities in having white box access t…
