contents Privacy vulnerabilities in LLMs, such as leakage from memorization, have been constantly identified, and various mitigation proposals have been proposed. LoRA is usually used in fine-tuning LLMs and a good entry point to insert privacy-enhancing modules. In this ongoing research, we introduce PSY, a Posterior Sampling based PrivacY enhancer that can be used in LoRA. We propose a simple yet effective realization of PSY using posterior sampling, which effectively prevents privacy leakage from intermediate information and, in turn, preserves the privacy of data owners. We evaluate LoRA extended with PSY against state-of-the-art membership inference and data extraction attacks. The experiments are executed on three different LLM architectures fine-tuned on three datasets with LoRA. In contrast to the commonly used differential privacy method, we find that our proposed modification consistently reduces the attack success rate. Meanwhile, our method has almost no negative impact on model fine-tuning or final performance. Most importantly, PSY reveals a promising path toward privacy enhancement with latent space extensions.
