Image diffusion models such as DALL-E 2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion have attracted significant attention due to their ability to generate high-quality synthetic images. In this work, we show that diffusion models memorize individual images from their training data and emit them at generation time. With a generate-and-filter pipeline, we extract over a thousand training examples from state-of-the-art models, ranging from photographs of individual people to trademarked company logos. We also train hundreds of diffusion models in various settings to analyze how different modeling and data decisions affect privacy. Overall, our results show that diffusion models are much less private than prior generative models such as GANs, and that mitigating these vulnerabilities may require new advances in privacy-preserving training.

  1. Auditing Training Data in Generative Music Models via Black-Box Membership Inference

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Black-box membership inference on text-to-music models reaches up to 98.6% accuracy by training an auditor on semantic alignment patterns extracted from shadow-model generations.

  2. Diffusion Models Memorize in Training -- and Generalize in Inference

    cs.LG 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Diffusion models overfit denoising loss at intermediate noise but generalize in inference as model error smooths the flow field and sampling paths avoid memorized noisy training data.

  3. GUDA: Counterfactual Group-wise Training Data Attribution for Diffusion Models via Unlearning

    cs.LG 2026-01 reject novelty 6.0

    GUDA approximates leave-one-group-out counterfactual models with unlearning and ranks group influence by ELBO differences.

  4. CAMEL: Communicative Agents for "Mind" Exploration of Large Language Model Society

    cs.AI 2023-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    CAMEL proposes a role-playing framework with inception prompting that enables autonomous multi-agent cooperation among LLMs and generates conversational data for studying their behaviors.

  5. Benchmark Leakage Trap: Can We Trust LLM-based Recommendation?

    cs.LG 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Fine-tuning an LLM recommender on a slice of the benchmark inflates AUC/UAUC for in-domain leakage and degrades it for out-of-domain leakage, showing benchmark contamination can distort LLM-based recommendation evaluation.

  6. SPARK: Search Personalization via Agent-Driven Retrieval and Knowledge-sharing

    cs.AI 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0

    SPARK is a proposed framework that coordinates persona-based LLM agents with layered memory and three collaboration protocols to produce personalized search.
