New paper accepted @ USENIX Security 2025!

We show how to identify training samples most vulnerable to membership inference attacks - FOR FREE, using artifacts naturally available during training! No shadow models needed.

Check out our new pre-print "Strong Membership Inference Attacks on Massive Datasets and (Moderately) Large Language Models", joint work with fantastic colleagues from Google (DeepMind) and many other great institutions! Find it here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.18773
Strong Membership Inference Attacks on Massive Datasets and (Moderately) Large Language Models
State-of-the-art membership inference attacks (MIAs) typically require training many reference models, making it difficult to scale these attacks to large pre-trained language models (LLMs). As a resu...

So easy to be cynical and glib. No-one is under any illusions about the way events often play out in the Middle East, or the character of the groups who defeated Assad. But it is ok to hope. It is ok to celebrate the end of a dictator.

Sophon was such an overkill for halting Earth's research. All Trisolarans needed to do was to destroy Overleaf - with the exact same outcome.
