  • 用确定性点过程生成多样化的代理模型权重,更好刻画迁移能力。
  • 新评估指标计算词重要性,在四个数据集上显著优于现有方法。
  • 适合研究模型安全与对抗攻击的学者,尤其关注文本领域迁移攻击。

尽管深度神经网络在现代网络和语言应用中表现强劲,但仍易受对抗攻击影响,尤其是无需访问目标模型即可通过代理模型生成对抗样本的迁移攻击。文本领域的迁移攻击仍研究不足,现有方法常因对子模型平均处理或重要性评分不准确而效果不佳。为此,我们提出一种简单有效的迁移文本对抗攻击范式——SEP-Attack。具体而言,采用确定性点过程(DPP)生成多样化的代理集成权重,以表征子模型的迁移能力;基于这些权重引入新指标评估预测置信度,进而计算词重要性并生成对抗候选;最后量化每个候选的迁移得分,选取最优者作为最终对抗样本。在四个数据集及两个真实API上的实验验证了该方法的有效性,显著优于当前最先进基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite the strong performance of deep neural networks in modern Web and language applications, they remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, especially transferable attacks that generate adversarial examples using surrogate models without accessing the victim model. Transferable attacks in the text domain are still under-explored, with only a few studies addressing this challenging issue, often with suboptimal results due to equal treatment of submodels or inaccurate estimation of importance scores. To address these challenges, we propose a simple yet effective paradigm for transfer-based textual adversarial attack, named SEP-Attack. Specifically, we employ the Determinantal Point Process (DPP) to generate diverse surrogate ensemble weights, representing the transferability of submodels. Using these weights, we introduce a new metric to evaluate prediction confidence scores, which in turn are used to calculate word importance scores and generate adversarial candidates. Finally, we quantify the transferability score for each candidate and select the top ones as the final transferable adversarial examples. Experiments conducted on four datasets and two real-world APIs validate the efficacy of SEP-Attack, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art baselines.
