We present a probabilistic framework for studying adversarial attacks on discrete data. Based on this framework, we derive a perturbation-based method, Greedy Attack, and a scalable learning-based method, Gumbel Attack, that illustrate various tradeoffs in the design of attacks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods using both quantitative metrics and human evaluation on various state-of-the-art models for text classification, including a word-based CNN, a character-based CNN and an LSTM. As as example of our results, we show that the accuracy of character-based convolutional networks drops to the level of random selection by modifying only five characters through Greedy Attack.

  1. Natural Adversarial Sentence Generation with Gradient-based Perturbation

    cs.IR 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gradient-based perturbation of sentence embeddings, followed by a trained decoder, produces adversarial sentences that fool sentiment classifiers and transfer to Amazon Comprehend.

  2. Robustness to Modification with Shared Words in Paraphrase Identification

    cs.CL 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Paraphrase identification models suffer dramatic accuracy drops on examples modified by replacing or adding shared words, and adversarial training partially restores robustness.
