Published version: November 2020. The publication and preprint records below retain their own dates and identifiers.

Introduces self-adjusting arithmetic coding, choosing the candidate-set size at each generation step to control divergence from the language model. It supplies an imperceptibility analysis and evaluates capacity, divergence, and human judgments across multiple datasets.

Relationship to Neural Linguistic Steganography

The introduction explicitly states that SAAC builds on Ziegler, Deng, and Rush's 2019 arithmetic-coding method, replacing a fixed truncation size with an adaptive one.

Scope and limitations

Its distributional guarantee is relative to the underlying language model; choosing the truncation threshold still trades embedding behavior and computation against divergence.
