Research on the robustness of neural machine translation systems in word order perturbation by Yuran ZHAO, Tang XUE, Gongshen LIU

“…., BERT) into neural machine translation (NMT) models can improve translation performance.However, it is still unclear whether these improvements stem from enhanced semantic or syntactic modeling capabilities, as well as how pre-trained knowledge impacts the robustness of the models.To address these questions, a systematic study was conducted to examine the syntactic ability of BERT-enhanced NMT models using probing tasks.The study revealed that the enhanced models showed proficiency in modeling word order, highlighting their syntactic modeling capabilities.In addition, an attacking method was proposed to evaluate the robustness of NMT models in handling word order.BERT-enhanced NMT models yielded better translation performance in most of the tasks, indicating that BERT can improve the robustness of NMT models.It was observed that BERT-enhanced NMT model generated poorer translations than vanilla NMT model after attacking in the English-German translation task, which meant that English BERT worsened model robustness in such a scenario.Further analyses revealed that English BERT failed to bridge the semantic gap between the original and perturbed sources, leading to more copying errors and errors in translating low-frequency words.These findings suggest that the benefits of pre-training may not always be consistent in downstream tasks, and careful consideration should be given to its usage.…”

Multiple redundant flow fingerprint model based on time slots by Kexian LIU, Jianfeng GUAN, Wancheng ZHANG, Zhikai HE, Dijia YAN

“…With the increasingly widespread use of the Internet, various network security problems are frequently exposed, while the “patching” style security enhancement mechanisms cannot effectively prevent the growing security risks.The researchers in the field of network security believe that the future Internet architecture should take security as a basic attribute to provide the native security support which is also called as endogenous safety and security.In order to support the data trustworthiness of endogenous security, a time-slot based multiple redundant flow fingerprint model was designed and implemented based on the research of the watermark (or fingerprint) mechanism.The proposed model used only three time slot intervals and operated the packets within the specified time slots, so that the fingerprint can be embedded without conflicting with the adjacent bit operations.Redundant coding was introduced to improve the fingerprint robustness, and the behaviors such as jitter or malicious disruptions by attackers in the network were considered.Furthermore, the impacts of delayed interference, spam packet interference and packet loss interference were analyzed.The analytical results show that the robustness of the fingerprint model improves with increasing redundant bits when the packet distribution in the network stream is given.Besides, in order to reduce the consumption of time and space and improve the efficiency and accuracy of packet operations, a flow fingerprinting prototype system was designed and implemented based on the kernel, and its efficiency and robustness were evaluated.The experimental result show that the model has high robustness.Additionally, the application scenario of the model was elaborated, which can effectively detect man-in-the-middle attacks and prevent network identity spoofing with the help of the flow fingerprinting model.…”
