idSCD: Identifying Training Datasets through Semantic Correlation Descriptors

Announce Type: new Abstract: Can a dataset be recognized from the spurious correlations it induces during training? We argue that datasets leave dataset-specific traces in a model's learned semantic correlation structure: incidental regularities that are predictive within a dataset, but not causal for the underlying task, can be internalized during training. We use this insight to study dataset-level membership inference, moving beyond existing methods that rely on behavioral or...
