Detectability in Diversity: Improved Canary Crafting for Privacy Auditing in One Run

arXiv:2605.27292v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Privacy auditing aims to empirically assess privacy leakage in machine learning models using membership inference attacks (MIAs), and to derive lower bounds on differential privacy (DP) parameters. Recent one-run auditing methods address the high cost of standard approaches by relying on a single training run with multiple "canary" points whose inclusion or exclusion must be detected by the auditor. In this work, we study the problem of...

CANARY: Zero-Label Detection of Fine-Tuning Contamination in Language Models

Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversaries can implant latent harmful behavior by poisoning as few as 1% of fine-tuning examples. The contamination is invisible to every output-level defense: harmful behavior lies dormant in the model's hidden-state geometry and does not appear in generated text until contamination exceeds 7.5%. We introduce CANARY (Contamination Auditor via Neural Activation Representation Yield), a zero-label checkpoint auditor that detects this hidden shift directly from...

How to make the perfect papas arrugadas – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect …

These compulsively snacky salt-crusted spuds are a Canary Islands favourite – and an unusual but excellent way to cook our own early-summer cropIf you’ve ever visited the Canary Islands, you’ll be familiar with papas arrugadas – often translated, somewhat unappetisingly, as “wrinkly potatoes” – which pop up on every menu there. And not, generally, as a side dish, but as a standalone snack to be enjoyed with drinks. I do love a place that takes the spud seriously, and perhaps it’s not that...

Subtle Injection for Ground-truth Inference of LLM Training Data

Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly trained on scraped web corpora without authorisation, content owners require forensic methods to prove that their documents were included in a model's training set. We propose \textbf{SIGIL} (\textbf{S}ubtle \textbf{I}njection for \textbf{G}round-truth \textbf{I}nference of \textbf{L}LM training data), a framework that embeds imperceptible \emph{canary sequences} into protected text and code such that any LLM...
