DistractMIA: Black-Box Membership Inference on Vision-Language Models via Semantic Distraction

- 用已知语义干扰原图,观察文本输出变化来判断是否为训练数据。
- 在多个模型和医疗图像数据集上均优于现有方法。
- 适合关注模型隐私泄露风险的研究者或安全审计人员。
视觉语言模型(VLM)在大规模图文语料上训练,可能包含敏感数据,因此需要成员推断来审计训练数据。然而,部署后的VLM通常仅能观测生成的文本输出,现有攻击方法或依赖不可用的概率信号,或依赖以物体为中心的视觉假设,效果受限。为此,我们提出DistractMIA,一种仅基于输出的黑盒框架,利用语义干扰:保留原图,插入已知语义干扰物,测量生成响应的变化。其核心思想是:成员样本对原始语义更稳定,非成员样本则更容易被干扰引导。DistractMIA通过参考集校准干扰配置,并基于重复生成的文本稳定性与干扰吸收程度计算成员得分,无需访问对数、概率或隐藏状态。在多个VLM及基准测试中,DistractMIA始终优于输出仅限和更强访问基线,在医学图像基准上也表现良好,证明其适用于非物体中心的图像场景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-language models (VLMs) are trained on large-scale image-text corpora that may contain private, copyrighted, or otherwise sensitive data, motivating membership inference as a tool for training-data auditing. This is especially challenging for deployed VLMs, where auditors typically observe only generated textual responses. Existing VLM membership inference attacks either rely on probability-level signals unavailable in such settings, or use mask-based semantic prediction tasks whose effectiveness depends on object-centric visual assumptions. To address these limitations, we propose DistractMIA, an output-only black-box framework based on semantic distraction. Rather than removing visual evidence, DistractMIA preserves the original image, inserts a known semantic distractor, and measures how generated responses change. This design is motivated by the intuition that member samples remain more anchored to the original image semantics, while non-member samples are more easily redirected toward the distractor. To make this signal reliable, DistractMIA calibrates distractor configurations on a reference set and derives membership scores from repeated textual generations, capturing response stability and distractor uptake without accessing logits, probabilities, or hidden states. Experiments across multiple VLMs and benchmarks show that DistractMIA consistently outperforms both output-only and stronger-access baselines. Its performance on a medical benchmark further demonstrates applicability beyond object-centric natural images.
