• Authors: MaungMaung AprilPyone and Hitoshi Kiya
• Abstract summary: The proposed method embeds a watermark pattern in a model by using learnable transformed images. It is piracy-resistant, so the original watermark cannot be overwritten by a pirated watermark. The results show that it was resilient against fine-tuning and pruning attacks while maintaining a high watermark-detection accuracy.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel DNN watermarking method that utilizes a learnable image transformation method with a secret key. The proposed method embeds a watermark pattern in a model by using learnable transformed images and allows us to remotely verify the ownership of the model. As a result, it is piracy-resistant, so the original watermark cannot be overwritten by a pirated watermark, and adding a new watermark decreases the model accuracy unlike most of the existing DNN watermarking methods. In addition, it does not require a special pre-defined training set or trigger set. We empirically evaluated the proposed method on the CIFAR-10 dataset. The results show that it was resilient against fine-tuning and pruning attacks while maintaining a high watermark-detection accuracy.

  We propose a novel multi-bit box-free watermarking method for GANs with improved robustness against white-box attacks.

  Watermarking the outputs of generative models is a crucial technique for tracing copyright and preventing potential harm from AI-generated content. We introduce a novel technique called Tree-Ring Watermarking that robustly fingerprints diffusion model outputs. Our watermark is semantically hidden in the image space and is far more robust than watermarking alternatives that are currently deployed.
