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.
