1. Privacy Risk in Machine Learning: Analyzing the Connection to Overfitting (2017 · 1,036 citations)
   Models trained on sensitive records can expose facts about the people in their training sets. Before this work, the causes of that leakage were explained mostly through scattered anecdotes. Yeom, Giacomelli, Fredrikson and Jha study two black-box threats. Membership inference asks whether a given record was used for…
2. SACTOR: LLM-Driven Correct and Idiomatic C to Rust Translation with Static Analysis and FFI-Based Verification (2026 · 1 citation)
   Moving legacy C code to Rust can remove whole classes of memory bugs. Rule-based converters such as C2Rust produce Rust that leans heavily on unsafe , and plain LLM prompting gives no assurance that the result behaves like the original. SACTOR addresses both problems. A libclang-based C Parser splits a program into…
