ALPACA AGAINST VICUNA: Using LLMs to Uncover Memorization of LLMs

NAACL 2025long

In this paper, we investigate the overlooked impact of instruction-tuning on memorization in large language models (LLMs), which has largely been studied in base, pre-trained models. We propose a black-box prompt optimization method where an attacker LLM agent uncovers higher levels of memorization…

Preserving Privacy Through Dememorization: An Unlearning Technique For Mitigating Memorization Risks In Language Models

EMNLP 2023long main

Large Language models (LLMs) are trained on vast amounts of data, including sensitive information that poses a risk to personal privacy if exposed. LLMs have shown the ability to memorize and reproduce portions of their training data when prompted by adversaries. Prior research has focused on addres…
