• Title: Anti-Neuron Watermarking: Protecting Personal Data Against Unauthorized Neural Model Training
• Authors: Zihang Zou, Boqing Gong, Liqiang Wang
• Abstract summary: Personal data (e.g. images) could be exploited inappropriately to train deep neural network models without authorization. By embedding a watermarking signature using specialized linear color transformation to user images, neural models will be imprinted with such a signature. This is the first work to protect users' personal data from unauthorized usage in neural network training.

• Abstract: In this paper, we raise up an emerging personal data protection problem where user personal data (e.g. images) could be inappropriately exploited to train deep neural network models without authorization. To solve this problem, we revisit traditional watermarking in advanced machine learning settings. By embedding a watermarking signature using specialized linear color transformation to user images, neural models will be imprinted with such a signature if training data include watermarked images. Then, a third-party verifier can verify potential unauthorized usage by inferring the watermark signature from neural models. We further explore the desired properties of watermarking and signature space for convincing verification. Through extensive experiments, we show empirically that linear color transformation is effective in protecting user's personal images for various realistic settings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to protect users' personal data from unauthorized usage in neural network training.

  backdoor-based ownership verification becomes popular recently, in which the model owner can watermark the model. We propose a mini-max formulation to find these watermark-removed models and recover their watermark behavior. Our method improves the robustness of the model watermarking against parametric changes and numerous watermark-removal attacks.

  We propose a method for detecting unauthorized data usage by planting the injected content into the protected dataset.

By analyzing whether the model has memorized the injected content, we can detect models that had illegally utilized the unauthorized data.

  We propose a backdoor-based watermarking approach that serves as a general framework for safeguarding public-available data. By inserting a small number of watermarking samples into the dataset, our approach enables the learning model to implicitly learn a secret function set by defenders. This hidden function can then be used as a watermark to track down third-party models that use the dataset illegally.
