arXiv:2606. 11698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model watermarking safeguards AI model intellectual property by embedding distinctive knowledge that induces unique behavioral signatures.
The paper introduces REMARK, a watermark‑based fingerprint framework designed to verify ownership of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). REMARK generates in‑distribution watermark graphs that maximize output differences between GNN models, thereby reducing performance loss from out‑of‑distribution watermarks. It then extracts robust fingerprints from these output differences, eliminating the need for surrogate models trained on watermark data or reliance on specific output levels, and achieves state‑of‑the‑art verification accuracy across real‑world datasets and GNN architectures.
The paper introduces CertDW, a certified dataset watermark and ownership verification method that remains reliable even under malicious perturbations. By leveraging conformal prediction, it defines two statistical measures—principal probability (PP) and watermark robustness (WR)—to evaluate model stability on benign versus watermarked samples. The authors derive certification conditions linking WR to a PP-based threshold and provide a high‑probability bound on false positives, enabling robust ownership verification when a suspicious model’s WR exceeds the PP values of benign models.

arXiv:2606. 30423v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the increasing adoption of Machine Learning, protecting model ownership has become an essential challenge.
The paper introduces a dataset watermarking technique that embeds a watermark by increasing the co‑occurrence of randomly selected word pairs through meaning‑preserving local edits. The watermark can be detected solely from generated text with provable false‑positive control, and experiments on four base models and three datasets show reliable detection (p < 0.01) even when the watermarked data constitutes less than 5% of fine‑tuning tokens. Compared to existing methods, the approach better preserves benchmark utility and semantic integrity.
