arXiv:2604. 01904v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post-hoc unauthorized-training data detection for large language models (LLMs) typically assumes a query-with-originals regime: rights holders query a target LLM with raw proprietary data and assess whether the model assigns them stronger memorization-based detection signals, e.

The study investigates whether provenance information can reliably identify the source of synthetic text and whether this identification improves the selection of training data. Using financial‑risk text, the authors achieve 98.7% accuracy in attributing original generated passages, but accuracy drops to 53.1% after paraphrasing and 29.0% after style rewriting. They compare two selection strategies—one based on source provenance and another on a reference model score—across three rounds of generation and retraining, finding that the two methods choose different examples but do not produce a consistent difference in model degradation. The results suggest that source attribution and useful data selection are distinct challenges, and neither provenance nor the tested proxy suffices to guarantee stable recursive training behavior.

arXiv:2606. 10794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agentic applications increasingly route user tasks through official and third-party LLM APIs, provenance becomes an operational question: which model generated a given black-box response?

The paper demonstrates that fine‑tuning large language models on a single author’s works can trigger the models to reproduce large verbatim excerpts from copyrighted books, even when prompted only with semantic descriptions. Experiments on GPT‑4o, Gemini‑2.5‑Pro, and DeepSeek‑V3.1 show up to 85‑90% recall of held‑out books, with spans exceeding 460 words, and this effect generalizes across authors and model providers. The findings suggest that fine‑tuning reactivates latent memorization from pre‑training, revealing a widespread vulnerability in industry models.
