Abstract

TextAttack is a library for generating natural language adversarial examples to fool natural language processing (NLP) models. TextAttack builds attacks from four components: a search method, goal function, transformation, and a set of constraints. Researchers can use these components to easily assemble new attacks. Individual components can be isolated and compared for easier ablation studies. TextAttack currently supports attacks on models trained for text classification and entailment across a variety of datasets. Additionally, TextAttack’s modular design makes it easily extensible to new NLP tasks, models, and attack strategies. TextAttack code and tutorials are available at this https URL.

It is a Python framework for adversarial attacks, data augmentation, and model training in NLP.
