用大模型评估文本隐私,发现其能反映人类整体隐私感知。

LLM-as-a-Judge for Privacy Evaluation? Exploring the Alignment of Human and LLM Perceptions of Privacy in Textual Data

  • 用大模型充当隐私评价员,对比人类判断
  • 13个大模型在10个数据集上表现与人类整体一致
  • 适合研究隐私评估或大模型应用的学者参考

尽管隐私保护自然语言处理领域取得进展,但隐私评估仍面临挑战。本文探索使用大模型作为隐私评价员(LLM-as-a-Judge)的可能性,该方法在多项自然语言评估任务中已展现与人类高度一致的结果。鉴于隐私具有主观性且难以定义,我们研究大模型能否有效评估文本数据的隐私敏感度,并衡量其与人类隐私感知的一致性。基于涵盖10个数据集、13个大模型和677名参与者的调查,结果表明隐私评估存在普遍的人类间低一致性;然而,大模型能准确建模人类整体的隐私观点。通过对人类与大模型推理模式的分析,我们讨论了该方法在文本隐私评估中的优势与局限。研究为大模型作为隐私评价工具的可行性提供了依据,助力解决隐私问题的技术创新。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite advances in the field of privacy-preserving Natural Language Processing (NLP), a significant challenge remains the accurate evaluation of privacy. As a potential solution, using LLMs as a privacy evaluator presents a promising approach $\unicode{x2013}$ a strategy inspired by its success in other subfields of NLP. In particular, the so-called $\textit{LLM-as-a-Judge}$ paradigm has achieved impressive results on a variety of natural language evaluation tasks, demonstrating high agreement rates with human annotators. Recognizing that privacy is both subjective and difficult to define, we investigate whether LLM-as-a-Judge can also be leveraged to evaluate the privacy sensitivity of textual data. Furthermore, we measure how closely LLM evaluations align with human perceptions of privacy in text. Resulting from a study involving 10 datasets, 13 LLMs, and 677 human survey participants, we confirm that privacy is indeed a difficult concept to measure empirically, exhibited by generally low inter-human agreement rates. Nevertheless, we find that LLMs can accurately model a global human privacy perspective, and through an analysis of human and LLM reasoning patterns, we discuss the merits and limitations of LLM-as-a-Judge for privacy evaluation in textual data. Our findings pave the way for exploring the feasibility of LLMs as privacy evaluators, addressing a core challenge in solving pressing privacy issues with innovative technical solutions.
