Characterizing Recoverable Expert-Utilization Signatures in Fine-Tuned MoE LLMs
Mixture-of-Experts LLMs
Researchers uncover structural memorization vulnerabilities in fine-tuned mixture-of-experts large language models, where models leak internal routing pathways used during training. This creates a characteristic fingerprint unique to the training process that can be extracted.
