A new probing framework detects moderate parametric memorization signals in tabular in-context learning models under single-task fine-tuning, strongest on low-cardinality tasks, but signals largely disappear under realistic training.
Balanced Iteration Subsampling achieves stronger privacy amplification than Poisson subsampling in DP-SGD by eliminating participation variance while keeping uniform marginal participation.
DPrivBench is a new benchmark for evaluating LLMs on differential privacy reasoning, with results showing good performance on textbook mechanisms but substantial failures on advanced algorithms.
DP-OPD achieves lower perplexity than DP fine-tuning and synthesis-based private distillation under ε=2.0 by enforcing DP-SGD solely on the student during on-policy training with a frozen teacher.
Introduces MM-Privacy dataset and evaluations showing MLLMs leak sensitive data from images in various tasks, highlighting task inconsistency effects.
CSLR aligns unordered private replay lists from clients using public anchor sentence signatures, yielding 3.9-5.6 point gains on continual NLP tasks at ε=4 over non-CSLR DP baselines.
DP-SGD-RC applies Hutchinson and Hutch++ estimators to approximate per-sample gradient norms for clipping in DP-SGD, claiming competitive privacy noise multipliers and utility on Llama 3.2-1B with reduced memory.
DP-SelFT improves the privacy-utility trade-off for LLM fine-tuning by selecting robust layer subsets via DP synthetic data and perturbation-matched evaluation.
GroupGPT decouples intervention timing from response generation via edge-cloud collaboration for multi-user chats, scoring 4.72/5 on the new MUIR benchmark of 2500 segments while cutting token use by up to 3x and adding privacy sanitization.
DP-GRAPE reduces memory in differentially private neural network training by using random Gaussian projections on gradients instead of SVD, achieving comparable privacy-utility tradeoffs to DP-SGD and scaling to 6.7B parameter models.
A data-centric survey finds that only information-flow control covers compositional and cross-session leakage in LLM agents and that no single benchmark tests an agent across all its data surfaces under one policy.
HERALD selectively encrypts sensitive tokens via medical NER, POS policies, and deterministic ciphertext substitution to enable privacy-preserving clinical LLM use while recovering near-plaintext task performance.
