FADRW: A Feature-Aware Modulated and Dynamically Reweighted Loss for Few-Shot Linguistic Steganalysis

arXiv:2606.07655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ubiquity of social media platforms facilitates malicious linguistic steganography, posing significant security risks. However, detection is severely hampered by two fundamental issues during model training. Firstly, extreme class imbalance (less than 1% steganographic samples) induces a strong decision bias. Secondly, the invisibility of generative steganography means its features are nearly indistinguishable from benign text; this similarity, compounded by their extreme rarity, leads to severe feature marginalization, where faint steganographic signals are completely overwhelmed. To directly address these optimization-level challenges, we propose FADRW (Feature-Aware Modulated and Dynamically Reweighted Loss), a novel loss function framework engineered for few-shot steganalysis. FADRW employs Dynamic Reweighting to progressively counteract decision bias, and a Feature-Aware Modulation module to structurally reshape the feature space, preventing feature marginalization by enhancing the separability of these subtle features. Extensive experiments on datasets from three real-world social platforms demonstrate that FADRW significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly in the challenging few-shot steganographic sample scenario.
