DART-Net: A Dual-Path Transformer Architecture Robust to Adversarial Attacks for Efficient and Flexible Spam Detection

With the increasing complexity of spam, especially phishing messages. Adversarially generated samples, the need for detection systems that simultaneously possess high accuracy, efficiency,. Flexibility is felt more than ever. current models often excel in one of these dimensions. large language models, despite high accuracy, have an unacceptable delay in processing, while lightweight models, although fast, show high vulnerability to new. Hostile attacks. in the face of hostile attacks, dart-net introduces a novel architecture that dynamically balances performance. Resilience. dart-net leverages two parallel processing paths: a lightweight path based on distilbert for rapid. Initial evaluation,. A powerful roberta-based pathway enhanced with online adversarial training to enable deeper analyses. a smart gating mechanism aware of uncertainty intelligently routes inputs. Activates the robust pathway only for samples that are confident. have been detected as low or potentially harmful. we have evaluated dart-net on a diverse set of public datasets, including the contemporary spamdam dataset. experimental results show that dart-net achieves performance in the classification achieves performance that is competitive with large state-of-the-art models, while reducing the average inference latency by 70%. more importantly, under adversarial attacks such as textfooler, dart-net outperforms standard models significantly.. Reduces the attack success rate (asr) by more than 40 percentage points. this research introduces a new paradigm for designing. Implementing functional, secure,. Scalable spam detection systems.
