Generating Fluent Adversarial Examples for Natural Languages (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current methods for building adversarial attackers for NLP are inefficient as the gradient is discarded. |
| Approach: | They propose an adversarial attacker which performs Metropolis-Hastings sampling with the guidance of gradients to solve these problems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithm outperforms the baseline model on attacking capability on IMDB and SNLI. |
Do you have the right scissors? Tailoring Pre-trained Language Models via Monte-Carlo Methods (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-trained language models can be fine-tuned on task-specific datasets, but fine-timing can lead to over- and/or under-estimation problems. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to transfer probability mass from over-estimated regions to under-estimates by truncating and transferring probability mass between over- and under-estimating regions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the fine-tuning approach on a variety of datasets. |
