Researchers have identified a significant privacy vulnerability in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) specifically designed for document understanding. These models, when faced with insufficient visual information, can infer sensitive personal data by relying on memorized relational patterns from their training data. To address this, a new Dynamic Relational Unlearning Framework (DRUF) has been proposed, which includes a Relational Decoupling Unlearning module to suppress leakage of correlated sensitive fields while maintaining extraction accuracy. A new benchmark, DocPrivacyBench, was also introduced to systematically evaluate these privacy risks, demonstrating that DRUF outperforms existing methods by improving leakage suppression by 4.8 percentage points.
