Robust Semantics-based Watermarking for Large Language Models against Paraphrasing

Q: How can the SemaMark framework be extended to work with black-box LLMs where the internal embeddings are not accessible?

To adapt the SemaMark framework for black-box LLMs, where direct access to internal embeddings is not possible, a possible approach would involve leveraging the model's output probabilities. Instead of directly manipulating the embeddings, the watermarking process could focus on modifying the output probabilities of the model. By introducing subtle changes to the output probabilities based on the input sequence, a watermark could still be embedded in the generated text. This approach would require careful calibration to ensure that the changes are imperceptible to the human eye but can still be detected through watermark verification algorithms.

Q: How generalizable is the NE-Ring discretization approach, and can it be applied to watermark other types of machine-generated content beyond text?

The NE-Ring discretization approach used in SemaMark is based on transforming high-dimensional embeddings into a 2D space and then discretizing them to create stable semantic values for watermarking. This approach can potentially be generalized to other types of machine-generated content beyond text, such as images or audio. By representing the semantic information of these different types of content in a continuous space and then discretizing it into distinct values, a similar watermarking technique could be applied. However, the specifics of the transformation and discretization process would need to be tailored to the unique characteristics of the content type to ensure robustness and effectiveness.

Q: What other potential attacks or evasion techniques could be developed to circumvent the SemaMark watermarking approach, and how can the framework be further strengthened to withstand such attacks?

One potential attack on the SemaMark watermarking approach could involve adversarial perturbations to the input sequences. Adversarial examples could be crafted to subtly alter the semantic information of the input in a way that disrupts the watermark detection process. To strengthen the framework against such attacks, additional layers of security could be implemented, such as incorporating adversarial training during the watermarking process to make the system more resilient to adversarial inputs. Furthermore, introducing randomization techniques or encryption methods to obfuscate the watermark further could enhance the framework's robustness against sophisticated attacks. Regularly updating the watermarking strategy based on emerging attack vectors and conducting thorough security audits can also help fortify the framework against potential evasion techniques.

核心概念

A semantics-based watermarking framework, SemaMark, is proposed to enhance the robustness of LLM-generated text detection against paraphrasing.

要約

The paper proposes a semantics-based watermarking framework, SemaMark, to enhance the robustness of detecting LLM-generated text against paraphrasing.

Key highlights:

Existing watermarking methods based on token hashes are vulnerable to paraphrasing, as it can disrupt the matching between tokens and the partitioned vocabulary.
SemaMark leverages the semantic meaning of token sequences as the seed for the partition function, as semantics are more likely to be preserved under paraphrasing.
SemaMark uses a two-step approach to obtain stable semantic values: 1) weighted embedding pooling to aggregate semantics of previous tokens, and 2) discretization of the embeddings onto a Normalized Embedding Ring (NE-Ring).
Contrastive learning is used to train the MLP that maps embeddings to the NE-Ring, ensuring a uniform distribution of semantic values to improve concealment.
An offset detection method is proposed to enhance robustness at the boundaries of discrete semantic sections.
Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of SemaMark under different paraphrasing techniques, outperforming baseline watermarking methods.
