The paper proposes a new approach to creating unlearnable data for deep learning models, called UGEntities (UGEs), which balances authorized learnability with unauthorized unlearnability. The authors introduce the concept of conditional data learnability and demonstrate that UGEs can be trained to match the gradients of original data while maintaining unlearnability for potential hackers. To ensure data usability and prevent unauthorized learning, the authors optimize UGEs by maximizing a designated distance loss in a common feature space. Additionally, they propose undistillation optimization to safeguard against potential attacks. Experimental results on multiple datasets and networks show that the proposed framework preserves data usability while reducing training performance on hacker networks.

The paper finds a way to make data more secure for deep learning models. Currently, we rely on publicly available data, which is a risk because anyone can access it. To fix this, researchers created small noises in the data, but these noises limited how useful the data was. In this new approach, they create “ungeneralizable examples” that are only learnable by authorized users, making it harder for hackers to get information. They also add extra protection against attacks. The results show that this approach makes data usable while keeping it secure.
