New framework unifies membership inference attacks across generative models

Researchers have developed a unified framework for membership inference attacks (MIA) that can be applied across various generative model modalities, including text-to-text, text-to-image, and image-to-text. This new approach addresses the limitation of previous methods that treated each modality in isolation. The framework leverages the observation that a generative model's output distribution can approximate its training data distribution, enabling membership inference through likelihood ratio testing in a shared embedding space. Extensive experiments in black-box settings demonstrated superior performance compared to existing single-class optimized methods. AI

IMPACT Enhances understanding of privacy risks in generative models and provides new tools for auditing their training data.

    One Framework for All: Cross-Modal Membership Inference for Generative Models

    arXiv:2607.04339v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large generative models across text-to-text, text-to-image, and image-to-text modalities have been shown to pose significant privacy risks. One fundamental threat is membership inference attacks (MIA), which aim to determine wheth…
