It seems like every week my LinkedIn feed is filled with new just released AI risk taxonomies, threat models or AI governance handbooks. Usually these taxonomies come from governance consultants or standards authorities and are a great reference for understanding the wide variety of risks AI systems¹ bring with …

You've probably at some point heard the term "guardrails" when talking about security or safety in AI systems like LLMs or multi-modal models (i.e. models that include and produce multiple modalities, like speech and image, videos, image and text).

One common way to control memorization in today's deep learning systems is to fix the problem by building software around it. This software can also be used to deal with other undesired behavior, like producing hate speech or mentioning criminal activities.

In this article series, you've been able to investigate memorization in AI/deep learning systems -- often via interesting attack vectors. In security modeling, it's useful to explicitly define the threats you are defending against, so you can both discuss and address them and compare potential interventions.

I'm excited to open-source a project that I've been using for the past 2 and a half years: a private/personal reader and recommender.

It works with:

• RSS feeds
• Reddit
• HackerNews
• Lobste.rs

and comes with an example Jupyter Notebook for training your own text-based recommendation model once you have …

In this article, the last in the problem exploration section of the series, you'll explore adversarial machine learning - or how to trick a deep learning system.

Adversarial examples demonstrate a different way to look at deep learning memorization and generalization. They can show us how important the learned decision space …

At this point in reading the article series on AI/ML memorization you might be wondering, how did the field get so far without addressing the memorization problem? How did seminal papers like Zhang et al's Understanding Deep Learning Requires Rethinking Generalization not fundamentally change machine learning research? And maybe …

You've heard claims that we will "run out of data" to train AI systems. Why is that? In this article in the series on machine learning memorization you'll explore model size as a factor in memorization and the trend for bigger models as a general problem in machine learning.

Prefer …

So far in this series on memorization in deep learning, you've learned how massively repeated text and images incentivize training data memorization, but that's not the only training data that machine learning models memorize. Let's take a look at another proven memorization: novel examples.

In this article in the deep learning memorization series, you'll learn how one part of memorization happens -- highly repeated data from the "head" of the long-tailed distribution.

Prefer to learn by video? This post is summarized on Probably Private's YouTube.

Recall from the data collection article that some examples are …
