Decipherment of Substitution Ciphers with Neural Language Models (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for deciphering homophonic substitution ciphers use pre-trained neural LMs. |
| Approach: | They propose a beam search algorithm that scores the entire candidate plaintext at each step of the decipherment using a neural language model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed beam search algorithm improves on challenging ciphers with smaller beam sizes and better error rates than state-of-the-art methods. |
