Researchers have developed ScoreShield, a novel mechanism designed to protect privacy when releasing similarity scores from vector embeddings. This method addresses the issue of information leakage and membership inference attacks inherent in applications like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and biometrics. ScoreShield employs a perturb-then-project approach, adding calibrated Gaussian noise and then projecting the results onto a feasible set of cosine objects. This technique offers improved utility compared to naive differential privacy methods, particularly for large-scale releases of similarity score vectors and Gram matrices. AI
IMPACT Enhances privacy guarantees for AI systems that rely on vector embeddings and similarity scores, potentially increasing trust and adoption in sensitive applications.
