Watermarking Language Models through Language Models
Zhong, Xin, Dasgupta, Agnibh, Tanvir, Abdullah
This paper presents a novel framework for watermarking language models through prompts generated by language models. The proposed approach utilizes a multi-model setup, incorporating a Prompting language model to generate watermarking instructions, a Marking language model to embed watermarks within generated content, and a Detecting language model to verify the presence of these watermarks. Experiments are conducted using ChatGPT and Mistral as the Prompting and Marking language models, with detection accuracy evaluated using a pretrained classifier model. Results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves high classification accuracy across various configurations, with 95% accuracy for ChatGPT, 88.79% for Mistral. These findings validate the and adaptability of the proposed watermarking strategy across different language model architectures. Hence the proposed framework holds promise for applications in content attribution, copyright protection, and model authentication.
A Brief Yet In-Depth Survey of Deep Learning-Based Image Watermarking

This paper presents a comprehensive survey on deep learning-based image watermarking, a technique that entails the invisible embedding and extraction of watermarks within a cover image, aiming to offer a seamless blend of robustness and adaptability. We navigate the complex landscape of this interdisciplinary domain, linking historical foundations, current innovations, and prospective developments. Unlike existing literature, our study concentrates exclusively on image watermarking with deep learning, delivering an in-depth, yet brief analysis enriched by three fundamental contributions. First, we introduce a refined categorization, segmenting the field into Embedder-Extractor, Deep Networks as a Feature Transformation, and Hybrid Methods. This taxonomy, inspired by the varied roles of deep learning across studies, is designed to infuse clarity, offering readers technical insights and directional guidance. Second, our exploration dives into representative methodologies, encapsulating the diverse research directions and inherent challenges within each category to provide a consolidated perspective. Lastly, we venture beyond established boundaries to outline emerging frontiers, offering a detailed insight into prospective research avenues.
