Homoglyph-based Adversarial Perturbation of Introductory Computer Science Theory Problems
Different AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are becoming very popular. Although they are helpful for many day-to-day tasks, they can be used in unexpected ways. For example, the learning objectives of a course may not be achieved if students use these tools to solve their homework problems. This paper proposes a simple method to address this issue in the lazy student model. The method uses homoglyph-based adversarial perturbation to first modify the question without changing the semantic meaning of the question. Then a few characters are perturbed by their homoglyphs. Our experimental result shows the theoretical problems of introductory computer science courses can be effectiv...
