As we seek to deploy machine learning models beyond virtual and controlled domains, it is critical to analyze not only the accuracy or the fact that it works most of the time, but if such a model is truly robust and reliable. This paper studies strategies to implement adversary robustly trained algorithms towards guaranteeing safety in machine learning algorithms. We provide a taxonomy to classify adversarial attacks and defenses, formulate the Robust Optimization problem in a min-max setting and divide it into 3 subcategories, namely: Adversarial (re)Training, Regularization Approach, and Certified Defenses. We survey the most recent and important results in adversarial example generation, defense mechanisms with adversarial (re)Training as their main defense against perturbations. We also survey mothods that add regularization terms that change the behavior of the gradient, making it harder for attackers to achieve their objective. Alternatively, we've surveyed methods which formally derive certificates of robustness by exactly solving the optimization problem or by approximations using upper or lower bounds. In addition, we discuss the challenges faced by most of the recent algorithms presenting future research perspectives.

One popular hypothesis of neural network generalization is that the flat local minima of loss surface in parameter space leads to good generalization. However, we demonstrate that loss surface in parameter space has no obvious relationship with generalization, especially under adversarial settings. Through visualizing decision surfaces in both parameter space and input space, we instead show that the geometry property of decision surface in input space correlates well with the adversarial robustness. We then propose an adversarial robustness indicator, which can evaluate a neural network's int…
We explore adversarial robustness in the setting in which it is acceptable for a classifier to abstain---that is, output no class---on adversarial examples. Adversarial examples are small perturbations of normal inputs to a classifier that cause the classifier to give incorrect output; they present security and safety challenges for machine learning systems. In many safety-critical applications, it is less costly for a classifier to abstain on adversarial examples than to give incorrect output for them. We first introduce a novel objective function for adversarial robustness with an abstain op…
We study Label-Smoothing as a means for improving adversarial robustness of supervised deep-learning models. After establishing a thorough and unified framework, we propose several variations to this general method: adversarial, Boltzmann and second-best Label-Smoothing methods, and we explain how to construct your own one. On various datasets (MNIST, CIFAR10, SVHN) and models (linear models, MLPs, LeNet, ResNet), we show that Label-Smoothing in general improves adversarial robustness against a variety of attacks (FGSM, BIM, DeepFool, Carlini-Wagner) by better taking account of the dataset geo…
We propose a method for improving adversarial robustness by addition of a new bounded function just before softmax. Recent studies hypothesize that small logits (inputs of softmax) by logit regularization can improve adversarial robustness of deep learning. Following this hypothesis, we analyze norms of logit vectors at the optimal point under the assumption of universal approximation and explore new methods for constraining logits by addition of a bounded function before softmax. We theoretically and empirically reveal that small logits by addition of a common activation function, e.g., hyper…

Adversarial training is a training scheme designed to counter adversarial attacks by augmenting the training dataset with adversarial examples. Surprisingly, several studies have observed that loss gradients from adversarially trained DNNs are visually more interpretable than those from standard DNNs. Although this phenomenon is interesting, there are only few works that have offered an explanation. In this paper, we attempted to bridge this gap between adversarial robustness and gradient interpretability. To this end, we identified that loss gradients from adversarially trained DNNs align bet…
The existence of adversarial examples has led to considerable uncertainty regarding the trust one can justifiably put in predictions produced by automated systems. This uncertainty has, in turn, lead to considerable research effort in understanding adversarial robustness. In this work, we take first steps towards separating robustness analysis from the choice of robustness threshold and norm. We propose robustness curves as a more general view of the robustness behavior of a model and investigate under which circumstances they can qualitatively depend on the chosen norm.
Deep neural networks are susceptible to adversarial inputs and various methods have been proposed to defend these models against adversarial attacks under different perturbation models. The robustness of models to adversarial attacks has been analyzed by first constructing adversarial inputs for the model, and then testing the model performance on the constructed adversarial inputs. Most of these attacks require the model to be white-box, need access to data labels, and finding adversarial inputs can be computationally expensive. We propose a simple scoring method for black-box models which in…
We study the transfer of adversarial robustness of deep neural networks between different perturbation types. While most work on adversarial examples has focused on $L_\infty$ and $L_2$-bounded perturbations, these do not capture all types of perturbations available to an adversary. The present work evaluates 32 attacks of 5 different types against models adversarially trained on a 100-class subset of ImageNet. Our empirical results suggest that evaluating on a wide range of perturbation sizes is necessary to understand whether adversarial robustness transfers between perturbation types. We fu…
Deep neural networks are vulnerable against adversarial examples. In this paper, we propose to train and test the networks with randomly subsampled images with high drop rates. We show that this approach significantly improves robustness against adversarial examples in all cases of bounded L0, L2 and L_inf perturbations, while reducing the standard accuracy by a small value. We argue that subsampling pixels can be thought to provide a set of robust features for the input image and, thus, improves robustness without performing adversarial training.
Adversarial training has proven to be effective in hardening networks against adversarial examples. However, the gained robustness is limited by network capacity and number of training samples. Consequently, to build more robust models, it is common practice to train on widened networks with more parameters. To boost robustness, we propose a conditional normalization module to adapt networks when conditioned on input samples. Our adaptive networks, once adversarially trained, can outperform their non-adaptive counterparts on both clean validation accuracy and robustness. Our method is objectiv…
Network pruning has been known to produce compact models without much accuracy degradation. However, how the pruning process affects a network's robustness and the working mechanism behind remain unresolved. In this work, we theoretically prove that the sparsity of network weights is closely associated with model robustness. Through experiments on a variety of adversarial pruning methods, we find that weights sparsity will not hurt but improve robustness, where both weights inheritance from the lottery ticket and adversarial training improve model robustness in network pruning. Based on these …
Flow-based generative models leverage invertible generator functions to fit a distribution to the training data using maximum likelihood. Despite their use in several application domains, robustness of these models to adversarial attacks has hardly been explored. In this paper, we study adversarial robustness of flow-based generative models both theoretically (for some simple models) and empirically (for more complex ones). First, we consider a linear flow-based generative model and compute optimal sample-specific and universal adversarial perturbations that maximally decrease the likelihood s…
Neural networks lack adversarial robustness, i.e., they are vulnerable to adversarial examples that through small perturbations to inputs cause incorrect predictions. Further, trust is undermined when models give miscalibrated predictions, i.e., the predicted probability is not a good indicator of how much we should trust our model. In this paper, we study the connection between adversarial robustness and calibration and find that the inputs for which the model is sensitive to small perturbations (are easily attacked) are more likely to have poorly calibrated predictions. Based on this insight…
Neural Networks have been shown to be sensitive to common perturbations such as blur, Gaussian noise, rotations, etc. They are also vulnerable to some artificial malicious corruptions called adversarial examples. The adversarial examples study has recently become very popular and it sometimes even reduces the term "adversarial robustness" to the term "robustness". Yet, we do not know to what extent the adversarial robustness is related to the global robustness. Similarly, we do not know if a robustness to various common perturbations such as translations or contrast losses for instance, could …

Adversarial training has become one of the most effective methods for improving robustness of neural networks. However, it often suffers from poor generalization on both clean and perturbed data. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, named Customized Adversarial Training (CAT), which adaptively customizes the perturbation level and the corresponding label for each training sample in adversarial training. We show that the proposed algorithm achieves better clean and robust accuracy than previous adversarial training methods through extensive experiments.

It is desirable, and often a necessity, for machine learning models to be robust against adversarial attacks. This is particularly true for Bayesian models, as they are well-suited for safety-critical applications, in which adversarial attacks can have catastrophic outcomes. In this work, we take a deeper look at the adversarial robustness of Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs). In particular, we consider whether the adversarial robustness of a BNN can be increased by model choices, particularly the Lipschitz continuity induced by the prior. Conducting in-depth analysis on the case of i.i.d., zero…
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are known for their good performance and generalization in vision-related tasks and have become state-of-the-art in both application and research-based domains. However, just like other neural network models, they suffer from a susceptibility to noise and adversarial attacks. An adversarial defence aims at reducing a neural network's susceptibility to adversarial attacks through learning or architectural modifications. We propose the weight map layer (WM) as a generic architectural addition to CNNs and show that it can increase their robustness to noise and…
Adversarial robustness of machine learning models has attracted considerable attention over recent years. Adversarial attacks undermine the reliability of and trust in machine learning models, but the construction of more robust models hinges on a rigorous understanding of adversarial robustness as a property of a given model. Point-wise measures for specific threat models are currently the most popular tool for comparing the robustness of classifiers and are used in most recent publications on adversarial robustness. In this work, we use recently proposed robustness curves to show that point-…
Adversarial training is one of the most effective approaches defending against adversarial examples for deep learning models. Unlike other defense strategies, adversarial training aims to promote the robustness of models intrinsically. During the last few years, adversarial training has been studied and discussed from various aspects. A variety of improvements and developments of adversarial training are proposed, which were, however, neglected in existing surveys. For the first time in this survey, we systematically review the recent progress on adversarial training for adversarial robustness…

Adversarial training shows promise as an approach for training models that are robust towards adversarial perturbation. In this paper, we explore some of the practical challenges of adversarial training. We present a sensitivity analysis that illustrates that the effectiveness of adversarial training hinges on the settings of a few salient hyperparameters. We show that the robustness surface that emerges across these salient parameters can be surprisingly complex and that therefore no effective one-size-fits-all parameter settings exist. We then demonstrate that we can use the same salient hyp…
Recent studies on the adversarial vulnerability of neural networks have shown that models trained with the objective of minimizing an upper bound on the worst-case loss over all possible adversarial perturbations improve robustness against adversarial attacks. Beside exploiting adversarial training framework, we show that by enforcing a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to be linear in transformed input and feature space improves robustness significantly. We also demonstrate that by augmenting the objective function with Local Lipschitz regularizer boost robustness of the model further. Our method out…
Recently, there has been an abundance of works on designing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that are robust to adversarial examples. In particular, a central question is which features of DNNs influence adversarial robustness and, therefore, can be to used to design robust DNNs. In this work, this problem is studied through the lens of compression which is captured by the low-rank structure of weight matrices. It is first shown that adversarial training tends to promote simultaneously low-rank and sparse structure in the weight matrices of neural networks. This is measured through the notions of e…

In this paper, we consider the problem of assessing the adversarial robustness of deep neural network models under both Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Bayesian Dark Knowledge (BDK) inference approximations. We characterize the robustness of each method to two types of adversarial attacks: the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and projected gradient descent (PGD). We show that full MCMC-based inference has excellent robustness, significantly outperforming standard point estimation-based learning. On the other hand, BDK provides marginal improvements. As an additional contribution, we presen…

The current state-of-the-art defense methods against adversarial examples typically focus on improving either empirical or certified robustness. Among them, adversarially trained (AT) models produce empirical state-of-the-art defense against adversarial examples without providing any robustness guarantees for large classifiers or higher-dimensional inputs. In contrast, existing randomized smoothing based models achieve state-of-the-art certified robustness while significantly degrading the empirical robustness against adversarial examples. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called \emph…

We present an oracle-efficient algorithm for boosting the adversarial robustness of barely robust learners. Barely robust learning algorithms learn predictors that are adversarially robust only on a small fraction $β\ll 1$ of the data distribution. Our proposed notion of barely robust learning requires robustness with respect to a "larger" perturbation set; which we show is necessary for strongly robust learning, and that weaker relaxations are not sufficient for strongly robust learning. Our results reveal a qualitative and quantitative equivalence between two seemingly unrelated problems: st…

This work explores the potency of stochastic competition-based activations, namely Stochastic Local Winner-Takes-All (LWTA), against powerful (gradient-based) white-box and black-box adversarial attacks; we especially focus on Adversarial Training settings. In our work, we replace the conventional ReLU-based nonlinearities with blocks comprising locally and stochastically competing linear units. The output of each network layer now yields a sparse output, depending on the outcome of winner sampling in each block. We rely on the Variational Bayesian framework for training and inference; we inco…
To deflect adversarial attacks, a range of "certified" classifiers have been proposed. In addition to labeling an image, certified classifiers produce (when possible) a certificate guaranteeing that the input image is not an $\ell_p$-bounded adversarial example. We present a new attack that exploits not only the labelling function of a classifier, but also the certificate generator. The proposed method applies large perturbations that place images far from a class boundary while maintaining the imperceptibility property of adversarial examples. The proposed "Shadow Attack" causes certifiably r…

With the tremendous advances in the architecture and scale of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) over the past few decades, they can easily reach or even exceed the performance of humans in certain tasks. However, a recently discovered shortcoming of CNNs is that they are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Although the adversarial robustness of CNNs can be improved by adversarial training, there is a trade-off between standard accuracy and adversarial robustness. From the neural architecture perspective, this paper aims to improve the adversarial robustness of the backbone CNNs that have a s…
The vulnerability of deep neural networks (DNNs) to adversarial attack, which is an attack that can mislead state-of-the-art classifiers into making an incorrect classification with high confidence by deliberately perturbing the original inputs, raises concerns about the robustness of DNNs to such attacks. Adversarial training, which is the main heuristic method for improving adversarial robustness and the first line of defense against adversarial attacks, requires many sample-by-sample calculations to increase training size and is usually insufficiently strong for an entire network. This pape…
In Federated Learning (FL), models are as fragile as centrally trained models against adversarial examples. However, the adversarial robustness of federated learning remains largely unexplored. This paper casts light on the challenge of adversarial robustness of federated learning. To facilitate a better understanding of the adversarial vulnerability of the existing FL methods, we conduct comprehensive robustness evaluations on various attacks and adversarial training methods. Moreover, we reveal the negative impacts induced by directly adopting adversarial training in FL, which seriously hurt…

Deep learning has undoubtedly offered tremendous improvements in the performance of state-of-the-art speech emotion recognition (SER) systems. However, recent research on adversarial examples poses enormous challenges on the robustness of SER systems by showing the susceptibility of deep neural networks to adversarial examples as they rely only on small and imperceptible perturbations. In this study, we evaluate how adversarial examples can be used to attack SER systems and propose the first black-box adversarial attack on SER systems. We also explore potential defenses including adversarial t…

Though deep neural networks have achieved significant progress on various tasks, often enhanced by model ensemble, existing high-performance models can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Many efforts have been devoted to enhancing the robustness of individual networks and then constructing a straightforward ensemble, e.g., by directly averaging the outputs, which ignores the interaction among networks. This paper presents a new method that explores the interaction among individual networks to improve robustness for ensemble models. Technically, we define a new notion of ensemble diversity i…
Neural networks have led to major improvements in image classification but suffer from being non-robust to adversarial changes, unreliable uncertainty estimates on out-distribution samples and their inscrutable black-box decisions. In this work we propose RATIO, a training procedure for Robustness via Adversarial Training on In- and Out-distribution, which leads to robust models with reliable and robust confidence estimates on the out-distribution. RATIO has similar generative properties to adversarial training so that visual counterfactuals produce class specific features. While adversarial t…

In this paper we aim to explore the general robustness of neural network classifiers by utilizing adversarial as well as natural perturbations. Different from previous works which mainly focus on studying the robustness of neural networks against adversarial perturbations, we also evaluate their robustness on natural perturbations before and after robustification. After standardizing the comparison between adversarial and natural perturbations, we demonstrate that although adversarial training improves the performance of the networks against adversarial perturbations, it leads to drop in the p…
It has been shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) may be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, raising the concern on their robustness particularly for safety-critical applications. Recognizing the local nature and limitations of existing adversarial attacks, we present a new type of global adversarial attacks for assessing global DNN robustness. More specifically, we propose a novel concept of global adversarial example pairs in which each pair of two examples are close to each other but have different class labels predicted by the DNN. We further propose two families of global attack methods a…
We augment adversarial training (AT) with worst case adversarial training (WCAT) which improves adversarial robustness by 11% over the current state-of-the-art result in the $\ell_2$ norm on CIFAR-10. We obtain verifiable average case and worst case robustness guarantees, based on the expected and maximum values of the norm of the gradient of the loss. We interpret adversarial training as Total Variation Regularization, which is a fundamental tool in mathematical image processing, and WCAT as Lipschitz regularization.
Defenses against adversarial examples, such as adversarial training, are typically tailored to a single perturbation type (e.g., small $\ell_\infty$-noise). For other perturbations, these defenses offer no guarantees and, at times, even increase the model's vulnerability. Our aim is to understand the reasons underlying this robustness trade-off, and to train models that are simultaneously robust to multiple perturbation types. We prove that a trade-off in robustness to different types of $\ell_p$-bounded and spatial perturbations must exist in a natural and simple statistical setting. We corro…
Despite their performance, Artificial Neural Networks are not reliable enough for most of industrial applications. They are sensitive to noises, rotations, blurs and adversarial examples. There is a need to build defenses that protect against a wide range of perturbations, covering the most traditional common corruptions and adversarial examples. We propose a new data augmentation strategy called M-TLAT and designed to address robustness in a broad sense. Our approach combines the Mixup augmentation and a new adversarial training algorithm called Targeted Labeling Adversarial Training (TLAT). …

In this paper we study leveraging confidence information induced by adversarial training to reinforce adversarial robustness of a given adversarially trained model. A natural measure of confidence is $\|F({\bf x})\|_\infty$ (i.e. how confident $F$ is about its prediction?). We start by analyzing an adversarial training formulation proposed by Madry et al.. We demonstrate that, under a variety of instantiations, an only somewhat good solution to their objective induces confidence to be a discriminator, which can distinguish between right and wrong model predictions in a neighborhood of a point …

Adversarial robustness studies the worst-case performance of a machine learning model to ensure safety and reliability. With the proliferation of deep-learning-based technology, the potential risks associated with model development and deployment can be amplified and become dreadful vulnerabilities. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of research topics and foundational principles of research methods for adversarial robustness of deep learning models, including attacks, defenses, verification, and novel applications.
We introduce a Noise-based prior Learning (NoL) approach for training neural networks that are intrinsically robust to adversarial attacks. We find that the implicit generative modeling of random noise with the same loss function used during posterior maximization, improves a model's understanding of the data manifold furthering adversarial robustness. We evaluate our approach's efficacy and provide a simplistic visualization tool for understanding adversarial data, using Principal Component Analysis. Our analysis reveals that adversarial robustness, in general, manifests in models with higher…

A convolutional neural network strongly robust to adversarial perturbations at reasonable computational and performance cost has not yet been demonstrated. The primate visual ventral stream seems to be robust to small perturbations in visual stimuli but the underlying mechanisms that give rise to this robust perception are not understood. In this work, we investigate the role of two biologically plausible mechanisms in adversarial robustness. We demonstrate that the non-uniform sampling performed by the primate retina and the presence of multiple receptive fields with a range of receptive fiel…

(Non-)robustness of neural networks to small, adversarial pixel-wise perturbations, and as more recently shown, to even random spatial transformations (e.g., translations, rotations) entreats both theoretical and empirical understanding. Spatial robustness to random translations and rotations is commonly attained via equivariant models (e.g., StdCNNs, GCNNs) and training augmentation, whereas adversarial robustness is typically achieved by adversarial training. In this paper, we prove a quantitative trade-off between spatial and adversarial robustness in a simple statistical setting. We comple…
A new understanding of adversarial examples and adversarial robustness is proposed by decoupling the data generator and the label generator (which we call the teacher). In our framework, adversarial robustness is a conditional concept---the student model is not absolutely robust, but robust with respect to the teacher. Based on the new understanding, we claim that adversarial examples exist because the student cannot obtain sufficient information of the teacher from the training data. Various ways of achieving robustness is compared. Theoretical and numerical evidence shows that to efficiently…

Adversarial examples are carefully perturbed in-puts for fooling machine learning models. A well-acknowledged defense method against such examples is adversarial training, where adversarial examples are injected into training data to increase robustness. In this paper, we propose a new attack to unveil an undesired property of the state-of-the-art adversarial training, that is it fails to obtain robustness against perturbations in $\ell_2$ and $\ell_\infty$ norms simultaneously. We discuss a possible solution to this issue and its limitations as well.
This paper provides a unified view to explain different adversarial attacks and defense methods, i.e. the view of multi-order interactions between input variables of DNNs. Based on the multi-order interaction, we discover that adversarial attacks mainly affect high-order interactions to fool the DNN. Furthermore, we find that the robustness of adversarially trained DNNs comes from category-specific low-order interactions. Our findings provide a potential method to unify adversarial perturbations and robustness, which can explain the existing defense methods in a principle way. Besides, our fin…

When network models are tampered with backdoor or error-injection attacks, our results demonstrate that the path connection learned…
