Adversarial text defense is a significant strategy to protect modern NLP models from being attacked. Typical text defense methods usually enhance the model’s robustness by model retraining or equipping it with a data preprocessing step, aiming to eliminate the non-robust features and preserve the robust ones. Although some efforts have been made to recognize the robust features, e.g., by the information bottleneck (IB) technique, how to fully disentangle the robust and non-robust representation remains a big challenge. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel text defense method, named Disentangled Information Bottleneck (DisIB), with two major merits. Firstly, we separate the robust features and non-robust features with a disentangled two-line framework rather than the one-line compression network in IB. This prevents the loss of robust features caused by information compression and produces complete robust features. Secondly, we design a discriminator network to approximate the minimum mutual information of the two lines, which sufficiently disentangles robust and non-robust features. To validate the effectiveness of our DisIB, we conduct a total of 96 defense experiments on four datasets by defending four popular attack methods. Experimental results elaborate that our method significantly outperforms six baselines, with accuracy improvements ranging from 3.8% to 20.7%.
