Generative Model Inversion Through the Lens of the Manifold Hypothesis

NeurIPS 2025

This paper explains how generative priors improve model inversion by projecting noisy inversion gradients onto the tangent space of the generator manifold. We analyzed gradient-manifold alignment and developed an alignment-promoting training objective and a training-free correction for inversion.

Pseudo-Private Data Guided Model Inversion Attacks

NeurIPS 2024

This paper introduces a model inversion attack that uses pseudo-private data to approximate the target model's private training distribution and reconstruct its training samples more accurately. We implemented the training pipeline and conducted the main experiments and ablation studies.

Model Inversion Attacks: A Survey of Approaches and Countermeasures

arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.10023

This survey reviews model inversion attacks and defenses across image, text, and graph domains. We categorized attacks by threat model and methodology, synthesized defenses and evaluation protocols, and curated the accompanying repository.

Single-Step Diffusion Model-Based Generative Model Inversion Attacks

Submitted to ICLR 2025

This work uses a distilled single-step diffusion generator to reconstruct private training samples in model inversion attacks. We implemented the diffusion-based attack pipeline and evaluated privacy leakage in multimodal encoders, including CLIP.
