ReCAST: Restoration-aware Cascaded Stage-wise Training for Obfuscated SMS Risk Classification
ReCAST distills a large teacher model's de-obfuscation ability into smaller models for robust classification of obfuscated Chinese SMS fraud messages.
The paper proposes ReCAST, a restoration-aware cascaded stage-wise training framework for classifying obfuscated Chinese SMS messages. It distills a large teacher model's de-obfuscation capability into a smaller deployable student by supervising obfuscated span detection, obfuscation type prediction, and text restoration, then uses the student for risk classification. On an internally constructed real-world Chinese SMS benchmark, ReCAST substantially outperforms directly trained baselines under obfuscation, targeting production latency and throughput constraints.
