Surprise Masking: Private Data Filtering with Model Likelihoods

Data useful for language model (LM) training can contain private or unwanted information that is at risk of being learned or memorized. We propose Surprise Masking (SM), a simple form of perplexity filtering that uses a publicly available reference model to identify unwanted spans and suppress learning from them while...

Exploring The Empirical Privacy Landscape of Synthetic Data

Methods for training language models on sensitive data differ in how they balance capability gains against the risk of leaking private information. In this paper, we present a controlled comparison of data-level and training-level interventions for navigating the capability-privacy tradeoff on synthetic medical records...

Model Card for OpenAI Privacy Filter

OpenAI Privacy Filter is a compact, bidirectional token-classification model for detecting and redacting personally identifiable information (PII) and secrets in unstructured text. The model is derived from an autoregressively pretrained checkpoint and converted into a bidirectional, banded-attention classifier that la...
