Summary

DP-MIND combines local perturbation with compact memory to study privacy-preserving million-token inference.

DP-MIND addresses long, sensitive inputs sent to an external language-model service. It perturbs context locally, processes chunks with a compact memory and trains the memory policy to withstand privacy noise. A local module also repairs damaged answer spans without exposing the original context to the remote model. The paper provides a theoretical privacy analysis and benchmark comparisons up to million-token inputs. These guarantees depend on its stated mechanism and assumptions. The work studies how privacy protection and useful long-context memory can coexist without forwarding an unmodified document.
