Evaluation of Adversarial Robustness in Arabic Language Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.25814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The emergence of the recent outstanding capabilities of Arabic Language Models has opened doors for exposing their vulnerabilities. One of the major security risks associated with such Natural Language Processing models is adversarial attacks. These attacks can deceive the model into the wrong prediction, raising critical model security and safety concerns. This study aims to assess the robustness of five state-of-the-art Arabic Language Models under a distinct set of Arabic adversarial attacks applied at various levels of granularity and using different example generation strategies. We also explore a defense technique based on adversarial training to enhance model robustness. The results show that insertion of diacritics can reduce the accu
