Linguistic steganalysis can indicate the existence of steganographic content in suspicious text carriers. Precise linguistic steganalysis on suspicious carrier is critical for multimedia security. In this paper, we introduced a neural linguistic steganalysis approach based on multi-head self-attention. In the proposed steganalysis approach, words in text are firstly mapped into semantic space with a hidden representation for better modeling the semantic features. Then, we utilize multi-head self-attention to model the interactions between words in carrier. Finally, a softmax layer is utilized to categorize the input text as cover or stego. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
