Model Extraction and Adversarial Transferability, Your BERT is Vulnerable!

1 code implementation NAACL 2021 Xuanli He, Lingjuan Lyu, Qiongkai Xu, Lichao Sun

Finally, we investigate two defence strategies to protect the victim model and find that unless the performance of the victim model is sacrificed, both model ex-traction and adversarial transferability can effectively compromise the target models
