Abstract: The recent demonstration of Carlini et al. shows highly duplicated training images can be copied by diffusion models during generation, which is problematic in terms of data privacy and copyright. Known as an extraction attack, this method reconstructs training images using only a model's generated samples. As the original work requires on the order of gpu-years to perform, we provide a pipeline that can run in gpu-days and can extract a similar number of images. We first de-duplicate the public dataset LAION-2B and demonstrate a high level of duplicated images. We then provide whitebox and blackbox extraction attacks on par with the original attack, whilst requiring significantly less network evaluations. As we can evaluate more samples, we expose the phenomenon of template copies, wherein a diffusion model copies a fixed image region and varies another. We demonstrate that new diffusion models that deduplicate their training set do not generate exact copies as in Carlini et al., but do generate templates. We conclude with several insights into copied images from a data perspective.
