Code Division Modulation Layers Against Forgetting and Inference in Continual Gait Identification

Simone Milani

Continual learning (CL) has been recently employed in biometric identification systems thanks to its ability to integrate new knowledge within a pre-trained model and to the possibility of reducing the computational cost of training. Unfortunately, such approaches pose new challenges both in terms of final accuracy and privacy guarantees since a progressive fine-tuning of the model on small subsets expose them to catastrophic forgetting and successful inference attacks. This paper evaluates the efficiency of code division modulation layers (CDML) on a gait identification system which has been trained following a continual learning policy. The proposed approach preserves accuracy on all the tasks while mitigating membership inference attacks at the same time. Moreover, the impact of retransmission is minimized since replaying data is not necessary.

Memory Provenance Laundering in LLM Agents: A Non-Amplification Firewall for Persistent Memory

Jinghan Xu, Yiyong Xiao, Wanru Shao, Hankai Liu, Xinjin Li

Long-term memory lets large language model(LLM) agents reuse prior preferences and work flows, but it also turns untrusted observations into persistent action context. We identify memory provenance laundering: during LLM-based memory consolidation, an external observation may be…
