Fewer Heads, Fewer Memories: Pruning Redundant Attention Heads Suppresses Verbatim Memorisation

arXiv cs.CL ↗ · 2026-11-02 Cached

This paper shows that zeroing out 729 task-redundant attention heads in GPT-2-XL at inference time reduces verbatim memorisation by 91.5% while slightly improving WikiText-103 perplexity, offering a training-free way to mitigate privacy leakage from LLMs.
