Leave-One-Outscores provide estimates of feature importance in neural networks for adversarial attacks. In this work, we present context-free word scores as a query-efficient alternative. Experiments show that these approximations are quite effective for black-box attacks on neural networks trained for text classification, particularly for CNNs. The model query count for this method scales as O(vocab_size *model_input_length). It is independent of the number of examples and features to be perturbed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
