Data is the modern gold. Neural classifiers can improve their performance by training on more data, but given a trained classifier, it’s difficult to tell what data it was trained on. This is especially relevant if you have proprietary or personal data and you want to make sure that other people don’t use it to train their models. This paper introduces a method to mark a dataset with a hidden “radioactive” tag, such that any resulting classifier will clearly exhibit this tag, which can be detected.

Abstract:
We want to detect whether a particular image dataset has been used to train a model. We propose a new technique, emph{radioactive data}, that makes imperceptible changes to this dataset such that any model trained on it will bear an identifiable mark. The mark is robust to strong variations such as different architectures or optimization methods. Given a trained model, our technique detects the use of radioactive data and provides a level of confidence (p-value). Our experiments on large-scale benchmarks (Imagenet), using standard architectures (Resnet-18, VGG-16, Densenet-121) and training procedures, show that we can detect usage of radioactive data with high confidence (p < 10^-4) even when only 1% of the data used to trained our model is radioactive. Our method is robust to data augmentation and the stochasticity of deep network optimization. As a result, it offers a much higher signal-to-noise ratio than data poisoning and backdoor methods.
