arXiv:2606. 09401v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work has applied differential privacy (DP) to adapt large language models (LLMs) for sensitive applications, offering theoretical guarantees.
arXiv:2606. 28479v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CSIRTs increasingly fine tune language models on vulnerability scan records, but these records expose internal network topology and create privacy risks under regulations such as GDPR and LGPD.
arXiv:2606. 10481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) can exhibit problematic memorization of individual training examples.
The paper introduces a new privacy vulnerability in diffusion language models (DLMs) called token‑level memorization asymmetry, derived from theoretical analysis of diffusion training dynamics. It proposes Q‑Skew, a quantile‑weighted skewness indicator, to perform membership inference on fine‑tuned DLMs, outperforming existing baselines across multiple datasets and models. Additionally, Q‑Skew can be used to extract personally identifiable information (PII), demonstrating a broader privacy attack surface.
The study investigates how users perceive the helpfulness and privacy-preservation of large language model (LLM) responses in privacy-sensitive scenarios. Using 94 participants and 90 PrivacyLens scenarios, researchers found that users’ evaluations of identical LLM outputs varied widely, whereas five proxy LLM judges showed high agreement but low correlation with user judgments. The results suggest that proxy LLMs cannot reliably estimate users’ diverse perceptions of utility and privacy, highlighting the need for more user-centered evaluation methods.
