arXiv:2605.25819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Membership inference attacks (MIAs) are popular methods for empirically assessing the leakage of sensitive information in the training data through models or statistics learned from the data. The MIA vulnerability is often evaluated through false positive rate (FPR) and true positive rate (TPR) of a binary classifier that tries to predict whether a particular sample was in the training data. However, in order to reliably estimate the TPR especially for low FPR values, a lot of observations are needed, which in case of MIA translates to many targe
As AI models become more complex and widely deployed, the imperative to properly assess and mitigate privacy risks, such as Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs), is growing rapidly.
Reliable evaluation of MIA vulnerability is critical for ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive training data, which directly impacts trust and regulatory compliance in AI systems.
Improved methodologies for evaluating MIAs will enable more accurate risk assessments and the development of more robust privacy-preserving AI models, influencing how models are built and audited.
