• Abstract: Advanced machine learning and natural language techniques enable attackers to launch sophisticated and targeted social engineering-based attacks. To counter the active attacker issue, researchers have since resorted to proactive methods of detection. Email masquerading using targeted emails to fool the victim is an advanced attack method. However automatic text generation requires controlling the context and coherency of the generated content, which has been identified as an increasingly difficult problem. The method used leverages a hierarchical deep neural model which uses a learned representation of the sentences in the input document to generate structured written emails. We demonstrate the generation of short and targeted text messages using the deep model. The global coherency of the synthesized text is evaluated using a qualitative study as well as multiple quantitative measures.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained at scale and endowed with powerful text-generating abilities. We propose a new, theoretically grounded approach to combine their respective strengths. Our experiments, using a variety of generator LLMs, suggest that our method effectively increases the robustness of detection.

  We propose a bot identification algorithm based on unsupervised learning techniques. We find that the generated texts tend to be more chaotic while literary works are more complex. We also demonstrate that the clustering of human texts results in fuzzier clusters in comparison to the more compact and well-separated clusters of bot-generated texts.

  adversarial examples are constructed by adding small non-random perturbations to correctly classified inputs. Approaches to adversarial attacks in natural language tasks have boomed in the last five years using character-level, word-level, or phrase-level perturbations. We propose two new reactive methods for NLP to fill this gap. Adapted LID and MDRE obtain state-of-the-art results on character-level, word-level, and phrase-level attacks on the IMDB dataset.
