A General Framework for Defending Against Backdoor Attacks via Influence Graph

Xiaofei Sun, Jiwei Li, Xiaoya Li +5

In this work, we propose a new and general framework to defend against backdoor attacks, inspired by the fact that attack triggers usually follow a \textsc{specific} type of attack…

Triggerless Backdoor Attack for NLP Tasks with Clean Labels

Leilei Gan, Jiwei Li, Tianwei Zhang +6

Backdoor attacks pose a new threat to NLP models. A standard strategy to construct poisoned data in backdoor attacks is to insert triggers (e.g., rare words) into selected sentence…

Paraphrase Generation as Unsupervised Machine Translation

Xiaofei Sun, Yufei Tian, Yuxian Meng +4

In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for paraphrase generation by treating the task as unsupervised machine translation (UMT) based on the assumption that there must be pairs o…

ConRPG: Paraphrase Generation using Contexts as Regularizer

Yuxian Meng, Xiang Ao, Qing He +5

A long-standing issue with paraphrase generation is how to obtain reliable supervision signals. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised paradigm for paraphrase generation based o…

Layer-wise Model Pruning based on Mutual Information

Chun Fan, Jiwei Li, Xiang Ao +3

The proposed pruning strategy offers merits over weight-based pruning techniques: (1) it avoids irregular memory access since representations and matrices can be squeezed into thei…
