A new research paper examines the impact of probe choice on memorization verdicts in large language models, specifically using the Qwen2.5-VL-7B model. The study identifies three cases where standard probes produced misleading results: a false negative due to window truncation, a false positive from non-secret drift, and an ambiguous drop on an undertrained baseline. The authors recommend a multi-faceted approach for reporting memorization, including full-span secret NLL, localized decomposition, behavioral exact-recall, and decoy probes, to ensure accurate assertions of secret-specificity.
