Beyond Surface Forms: A Comprehensive, Mechanism-Oriented Taxonomy of Indirect Linguistic Encoding for LLM-Based Coded Language Detection
Researchers propose a mechanism-oriented taxonomy of indirect linguistic expressions (ILE) to categorize the underlying operations used to encode and recover meaning in coded language. This approach abstracts away from communicative goals to focus on the specific encoding mechanisms found in algospeak, euphemisms, and adversarial obfuscation.
