A new study on arXiv evaluates the privacy risks associated with training natural language processing (NLP) text classifiers. Researchers benchmarked membership inference attacks (MIAs) on the GLUE SST-2 sentiment dataset using both a TF-IDF + Logistic Regression model and a fine-tuned DistilBERT classifier. While DistilBERT achieved higher accuracy and F1 scores, both models demonstrated a leakage of membership signals. The study also explored lightweight mitigation techniques, finding that stronger regularization could reduce leakage at a utility cost, and fine-tuning adjustments could improve the privacy-utility trade-off with minimal accuracy loss.
