StegaText

This repo contains the implementations of several linguistic steganography methods in paper "Near-imperceptible Neural Linguistic Steganography via Self-Adjusting Arithmetic Coding" published in EMNLP 2020.

Dependency

You need to install all dependent librarys in requirements.txt file. Besides, you need to download the gpt2-medium model (345M parameter) from transformers library

Datasets

We put all four datasets mentioned in the paepr into the datasets/ folder.

Included Implementations

1. block_baseline.py: implementations of baseline method Bin-LM in the paper.
2. huffman_baseline.py: implementations of baseline method RNN-Stega in the paper.
3. arithmetic_baseline.py: implementations of baseline method Arithmetic in the paper.
4. saac.py: implementations of our proposed method SAAC in the paper.

How to run

You can run all steganography methods in two modes:

1. run_single_end2end.py: a script to run though the entire steganography pipeline (i.e., encryption -> encoding -> decoding -> decryption) on one plaintext.
2. run_batch_encode.py: a script to run the encryption+encoding steps on a batch of plaintexts.

Example commands are included in run_all.sh.
