Revealing Training Data Exposure in Vision Language Large Models via Parameter Gradients

Vision-Language Large Models (VLLMs) trained on massive crawled corpora raise pressing copyright and data-provenance concerns. These concerns are particularly acute in healthcare, where patient medical images paired with clinical reports demand rigorous privacy safeguards.

Deep Contrastive Unlearning for Language Models

Deep Contrastive Unlearning for Language Models (DeepCUT) is a framework that removes information from fine‑tuned language models by directly optimizing their latent space. It addresses the challenge of machine unlearning in black‑box models, which has been largely overlooked by previous work that only mitigated output effects. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that DeepCUT consistently outperforms baseline methods in both effectiveness and efficiency.

When T2I Synthetic Data Backfires: Amplified Privacy Risks in Real-Synthetic Mix Training

arXiv:2607. 13541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To overcome data scarcity and privacy constraints in data collection, it has become standard practice across academia and industry to augment real training data with text-to-image (T2I)-generated synthetic data, a paradigm we term Real-Synthetic Mix-Training (RSMT).

Certifying Concept Unlearning in Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

The paper introduces a certification framework for assessing concept unlearning in text-to-image diffusion models, offering high‑confidence guarantees with bounded error on residual concept leakage. Unlike prior methods that rely solely on attack success rates from automated prompt searches, this approach combines statistical certification with worst‑case analysis along concept‑relevant embedding directions to derive explicit upper bounds on leakage probability. Evaluations across NSFW content, artistic styles, and celebrity identities reveal that certified leakage bounds exceed standard attack success rates by 16.2%, highlighting significant residual risks overlooked by existing protocols.
