摘要

Advanced neural text classifiers have shown remarkable ability in the task of classification. The investigation illustrates that text classification models have an inherent vulnerability to adversarial texts, where a few words or characters are altered to create adversarial examples that misleads the machine into making incorrect predictions while preserving its intended meaning among human viewers. The present study introduces Inflect-Text, a novel approach for attacking text that works at the level of individual words in a situation where the inner workings of the system are unknown. The objective is to deceive a specific neural text classifier while following specified language limitations in a manner that makes the changes undetectable to humans. Extensive investigations are carried out to evaluate the viability of the proposed attack methodology on various often utilized frameworks, inclusive of Word-CNN, Bi-LSTM and three advanced transformer models, across two benchmark datasets: AG news and MR, which are commonly employed for text classification tasks. Experimental results show that the suggested attack architecture regularly outperforms conventional methods by achieving much higher attack success rates and generating better adversarial examples. The findings suggest that neural text classifiers can be bypassed, which could have substantial ramifications for existing policy approaches.
