Researchers from the University of Washington and Princeton have developed a benchmark called WIKIMIA and a detection method called MIN-K% PROB to identify problematic training text in large language models (LLMs). The MIN-K% PROB method calculates the average probability of outlier words, allowing researchers to determine if an LLM was trained on a given text. The researchers found evidence suggesting that the GPT-3 model may have been trained on copyrighted books. This new method is a step towards improving transparency and accountability in LLMs.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful models that process large volumes of textual data. However, it is important to ensure that the training data does not contain problematic texts such as copyrighted material or personally identifiable information. Researchers from the University of Washington and Princeton University have introduced a benchmark called WIKIMIA to address this issue. WIKIMIA automatically evaluates detection methods on newly released pretrained LLMs. They have also introduced a new detection method called MIN-K% PROB, which identifies outlier words with low probabilities under the LLM.
The MIN-K% PROB method works by calculating the probabilities of each token in a given text using the LLM. It then selects the k% of tokens with the minimum probabilities and calculates their average log-likelihood. A higher value indicates that the text is likely to be in the pretraining data.
The researchers applied the MIN-K% PROB method to real-life scenarios such as copyrighted book detection, contaminated downstream example detection, and privacy auditing of machine unlearning. They found that the GPT-3 model, in particular, may have been trained on copyrighted books.
To remove personal information and copyrighted data from LLMs, the researchers used the Machine unlearning method. However, they found that LLMs can still generate similar copyrighted content even after unlearning copyrighted books.
The MIN-K% PROB method is a new and effective solution for detecting problematic training text in LLMs. The researchers have verified its effectiveness through real-world case studies. This method marks a significant step forward in improving model transparency and accountability.
