New benchmark evaluates LLM privacy detectors on quasi-identifier recovery

Researchers have introduced QuasiLeak-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the effectiveness of LLM-based privacy detectors. This benchmark focuses on identifying quasi-identifiers that, when combined, can reveal private attributes, and considers sender-specified disclosure policies. Current privacy detectors perform poorly on this benchmark, often failing to identify complete quasi-evidence groups or flag prohibited disclosures. However, fine-tuning a 4B model on the QuasiLeak-Bench training data demonstrated that the task is learnable and can surpass the performance of prompted models. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could lead to more robust LLM privacy detection methods, crucial for safeguarding user data in AI applications.

    QuasiLeak-Bench: Evaluating LLM-Based Privacy Detectors on Policy-Conditioned Quasi-Evidence Group Recovery

    arXiv:2610.21333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language messages often contain quasi-identifiers that are weak in isolation but can jointly reveal an individual's private attributes. We call such a jointly revealing set of cues a quasi-evidence group. Existing privacy be…
