GRPO Privacy Is at Risk: A Membership Inference Attack Against Reinforcement Learning With Verifiable Rewards

arXiv — cs.CLWednesday, November 19, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new study highlights the privacy risks associated with membership inference attacks on large language models, particularly in the context of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards. This approach to training LLMs raises concerns about privacy leakage due to its reliance on self
  • The implications of these findings are critical for developers and users of LLMs, as they underscore the need for enhanced privacy measures in AI systems that utilize RLVR. The introduction of DIBA aims to mitigate these risks by focusing on behavioral changes rather than memorization.
  • This development reflects ongoing debates in the AI community regarding the balance between model performance and privacy. As LLMs become increasingly integrated into various applications, understanding and addressing privacy vulnerabilities is essential, especially in light of adversarial attacks and the ethical implications of AI deployment.

Self-Examining Reinforcement Learning (SERL) is a proposed framework that addresses challenges in applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to open-domain tasks. Traditional methods face issues with subjectivity and reliance on external rewards. SERL innovatively positions large language models (LLMs) as both Actor and Judge, utilizing internal reward mechanisms. It employs Copeland-style pairwise comparisons to enhance the Actor's capabilities and introduces a self-consistency reward to improve the Judge's reliability, aiming to advance RL applications in open domains.
Audio Question Answering with GRPO-Based Fine-Tuning and Calibrated Segment-Level Predictions
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
This report details a submission to Track 5 of the DCASE 2025 Challenge focused on Audio Question Answering (AQA). The system utilizes the SSL backbone BEATs to extract frame-level audio features, which are processed by a classification head to generate segment-level predictions of acoustic events based on the Audioset ontology. These predictions are calibrated before producing event-level predictions, which are then structured into a prompt for a fine-tuned version of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, trained with the GRPO algorithm. The method achieved an accuracy of 62.6% on the development set, highlig…
