New Denoising-Aware Inversion Method Exposes Privacy Risks in Noisy Text Embeddings

Researchers have developed a new method called Denoising-Aware Inversion (DAEI) to address privacy risks in text embeddings that have been protected by adding Gaussian noise. Standard inversion attacks struggle with these perturbed embeddings due to a "Double Noise Trap." DAEI combines a residual denoising autoencoder with generative text inversion, training the denoiser unsupervisedly to reconstruct original text from noisy observations alone. Experiments show DAEI significantly improves reconstruction quality, achieving a 154% relative improvement in BLEU scores and substantial gains in F1 and ROUGE-L, challenging the assumption that simple noise addition is sufficient for privacy.
