ReCAST: Restoration-aware Cascaded Stage-wise Training for Obfuscated SMS Risk Classification

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Fraudulent messages sent via Short Message Service (SMS) are increasingly obfuscated to evade cost-conscious classifiers in production systems. In Chinese SMS, attackers can exploit a wide range of carefully crafted obfuscation strategies to hide risk-bearing phrases while preserving human readability, making direct classification brittle under real-world latency and throughput constraints. We propose ReCAST, a Restoration-aware Cascaded Stage-wise Training framework for robust obfuscated Chinese SMS classification. ReCAST distills a large teacher model's de-obfuscation ability into a smaller
