The novel technique proposed in this paper improves the robustness of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) by combining unitary weights with multi-margin loss. The resulting model, UniBERT, significantly boosts post-attack classification accuracies by 5.3% to 73.8%, while maintaining competitive pre-attack accuracies. This advancement addresses the lack of computationally efficient adversarial defense methods for mission-critical natural language processing (NLP) systems vulnerable to exploitation.

This paper creates a new way to make BERT more secure by combining two simple ideas. The result is a model that can keep working well even when it’s attacked, and this improvement helps many important NLP applications stay safe. The new model, called UniBERT, does a great job of staying accurate before being attacked, and it also does much better after an attack than the original BERT.
