Image diffusion models such as DALL-E 2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion have attracted significant attention due to their ability to generate high-quality synthetic images. In this work, we show that diffusion models memorize individual images from their training data and emit them at generation time. With a generate-and-filter pipeline, we extract over a thousand training examples from state-of-the-art models, ranging from photographs of individual people to trademarked company logos. We also train hundreds of diffusion models in various settings to analyze how different modeling and data decisions affect privacy. Overall, our results show that diffusion models are much less private than prior generative models such as GANs, and that mitigating these vulnerabilities may require new advances in privacy-preserving training.

  2. GUDA: Counterfactual Group-wise Training Data Attribution for Diffusion Models via Unlearning

    cs.LG 2026-01 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    GUDA approximates leave-one-group-out counterfactual models with unlearning and ranks group influence by ELBO differences.

  3. How much do language models memorize?

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A compression-based measurement puts GPT-style model memorization capacity at roughly 3.6 bits per parameter, with membership inference success following a sigmoid in the dataset-to-capacity ratio.

  4. Benchmark Leakage Trap: Can We Trust LLM-based Recommendation?

    cs.LG 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fine-tuning an LLM recommender on a slice of the benchmark inflates AUC/UAUC for in-domain leakage and degrades it for out-of-domain leakage, showing benchmark contamination can distort LLM-based recommendation evaluation.
