Cut the Deadwood Out: Backdoor Purification via Guided Module Substitution (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Model NLP models are often trained on datasets from untrusted platforms, posing significant risks of data poisoning attacks. |
| Approach: | They propose a retraining-free method that selectively replaces modules in the victim model based on a trade-off signal between utility and backdoor. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms even the strongest defense baseline against challenging attacks like LWS. |
