BadPrompt: Backdoor Attacks on Continuous Prompts

Understand

The prompt-based learning paradigm has gained much research attention recently.

• It has achieved state-of-the-art performance on several NLP tasks, especially in the few-shot scenarios.
• While steering the downstream tasks, few works have been reported to investigate the security problems of the prompt-based models.
• In this paper, we conduct the first study on the vulnerability of the continuous prompt learning algorithm to backdoor attacks.
