A new research paper published on arXiv explores how Batch Normalization (BN) in deep neural networks can inadvertently increase the risk of data memorization and privacy breaches. The study found that BN significantly amplifies the memorization of outlier samples, making models more vulnerable to membership inference attacks. This effect is supported by both extensive empirical testing and theoretical analysis, which show BN increases the influence of outlier samples during training. AI
