• Abstract: The training data in large language models is key to their success, but it also presents privacy and security risks, as it may contain sensitive information. Detecting pre-training data is crucial for mitigating these concerns. Existing methods typically analyze target text in isolation or solely with non-member contexts, overlooking potential insights from simultaneously considering both member and non-member contexts. While previous work suggested that member contexts provide little information due to the minor distributional shift they induce, our analysis reveals that these subtle shifts can be effectively leveraged when contrasted with non-member contexts. In this paper, we propose Con-ReCall, a novel approach that leverages the asymmetric distributional shifts induced by member and non-member contexts through contrastive decoding, amplifying subtle differences to enhance membership inference. Extensive empirical evaluations demonstrate that Con-ReCall achieves state-of-the-art performance on the WikiMIA benchmark and is robust against various text manipulation techniques.

  We investigate the loss of context awareness after supervised fine-tuning. We find that the performance decline is associated with a bias toward different roles learned during conversational instruction fine-tuning. We propose a metric to identify context-dependent examples from general instruction fine-tuning datasets.

  Large language models (LLMs) encode parametric knowledge about world facts. Their reliance on parametric knowledge may cause them to overlook contextual cues, leading to incorrect predictions in context-sensitive NLP tasks. We assess and enhance LLMs' contextual faithfulness in two aspects: knowledge conflict and prediction with abstention.

  We propose a novel interaction framework called Semantic Interactive Learning for the text domain. We frame the problem of incorporating constructive and contextual feedback into the learner as a task to find an architecture that enables more semantic alignment between humans and machines. We introduce a technique called SemanticPush that is effective for translating conceptual corrections of humans to non-extrapolating training examples.
