LLM-enhanced GNNs pose privacy risks, research finds

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the privacy implications of using large language models (LLMs) to enhance graph neural networks (GNNs). The study introduces a framework to systematically evaluate privacy risks, finding that LLM-enhanced GNNs, while improving performance, are more vulnerable to attacks that infer sensitive information like links, labels, and membership. The research also assessed differential privacy as a defense mechanism, noting its effectiveness in mitigating risks but also its significant impact on model utility, highlighting a trade-off between privacy and performance in graph learning.

    Are LLM-Enhanced GNNs Privacy-Safe?

    arXiv:2608.25727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have recently advanced graph neural networks (GNNs) by enriching node representations with semantic information, giving rise to LLM-enhanced GNNs that achieve substantial performance gains. However, thei…
