Challenge: Existing methods to detect pretraining data from large language models are unrealistic to them.
Approach: They propose to detect pre-training data from LLM in a black-box way by using GPT-2 as reference model and feed it with sequence probabilities to detect whether it was used to train it.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms existing methods on the benchmark datasets and shows that it is effective on different popular LLMs.
