Order-Disorder: Imitation Adversarial Attacks for Black-box Neural Ranking Models. (arXiv:2209.06506v1 [cs.IR])

Neural text ranking models have witnessed significant advancement and are
increasingly being deployed in practice. Unfortunately, they also inherit
adversarial vulnerabilities of general neural models, which have been detected
but remain underexplored by prior studies. Moreover, the inherit adversarial
vulnerabilities might be leveraged by blackhat SEO to defeat better-protected
search engines. In this study, we propose an imitation adversarial attack on
black-box neural passage ranking models. We first show that the target passage
ranking model can be transparentized and imitated …
