SeqMIA: Sequential-Metric Based Membership Inference Attack
Hao Li, Zheng Li, Siyuan Wu, Chengrui Hu, Yutong Ye, Min Zhang, Dengguo Feng, Yang Zhang
Abstract
Most existing membership inference attacks (MIAs) utilize metrics (e.g., loss) calculated on the model's final state, while recent advanced attacks leverage metrics computed at various stages, including both intermediate and final stages, throughout the model training. Nevertheless, these attacks often process multiple intermediate states of the metric independently, ignoring their time-dependent patterns. Consequently, they struggle to effectively distinguish between members and non-members who exhibit similar metric values, particularly resulting in a high false-positive rate.
