Want to know what training data has been memorized by models like GPT-4?

We propose information-guided probes, a method to uncover memorization evidence in *completely black-box* models,

without requiring access to
🙅‍♀️ Model weights
🙅‍♀️ Training data
🙅‍♀️ Token probabilities 🧵 (1/5)
Information-Guided Identification of Training Data Imprint in (Proprietary) Large Language Models
High-quality training data has proven crucial for developing performant large language models (LLMs). However, commercial LLM providers disclose few, if any, details about the data used for training. ...
