Machine Text Detectors are Membership Inference Attacks

This research reveals that machine text detection and membership inference attacks, traditionally studied as separate problems, are fundamentally linked both theoretically and empirically, sharing optimal methods and exhibiting high cross-task transferability.

Cascading Adversarial Bias from Injection to Distillation in Language Models

Adversarial bias injected into large language models (LLMs) during instruction tuning can cascade and amplify in distilled student models, even with minimal poisoning, bypassing current detection methods.

Persistent Pre-Training Poisoning of LLMs

Adversaries can persistently compromise Large Language Models (LLMs) by injecting a small amount of malicious data (as little as 10 tokens per million) into their pre-training datasets, leading to behaviors like denial of service, private data extraction, and belief manipulation, even after subsequent alignment training.
