Protecting Author Identity in the AI Era
Task-oriented optimization for balancing privacy and utility
TAROT introduces a novel approach to disguising authorship while preserving text utility through reinforcement learning techniques.
- Balances privacy protection and content utility more effectively than previous methods
- Uses policy optimization to create text transformations that hide author identity
- Achieves task-specific obfuscation that maintains the original purpose of the text
- Demonstrates enhanced resistance to de-anonymization attacks
This advancement is critical for security applications where protecting user identity is paramount while maintaining functional communication - particularly important as language models make authorship attribution increasingly accessible.
