Researchers have developed MemCatalyst, a novel data poisoning technique designed to improve the effectiveness of data auditing for vision-language models (VLMs). This method uses two strategies, Poisoning Text (PT) and Poisoning Image (PI), to make VLMs more susceptible to membership inference attacks. By forcing models to over-learn inconsistencies between image and text data, MemCatalyst significantly boosts auditing performance with a small number of poisoned samples, while minimally impacting the model's overall capabilities. The effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated across different VLM architectures and in black-box settings. AI
