The attacker can only query the model as a black box and see its prediction vectors. The authors treat this as a supervised learning task. They build several "shadow models" that imitate the target and whose… 2. **[Text Embeddings Reveal (Almost) As Much As Text](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/morris-2023-text-embeddings-reveal-almost-as/)** *(2023 · 146 citations)* The paper asks whether dense text embeddings, such as those stored in hosted vector databases, can be turned back into the original text. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
