Black-Box Privacy Attacks on Shared Representations in Multitask Learning

Multitask learning MTL has emerged as a powerful paradigm that leverages similarities among multiple learning tasks, each with insufficient samples to train a standalone model, to solve them simultaneously while minimizing data sharing across users and organizations. MTL typically accomplishes th...

The Ripple Effect: on Unforeseen Complications of Backdoor Attacks

Recent research highlights concerns about the trustworthiness of third-party Pre-Trained Language Models PTLMs due to potential backdoor attacks. These backdoored PTLMs, however, are effective only for specific pre-defined downstream tasks. In reality, these PTLMs can be adapted to many other...
