英文摘要：
It is well known that the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs) is susceptible to subtle interference. So far, camera-based physical adversarial attacks haven't gotten much attention, but it is the vacancy of physical attack. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient camera-based physical attack called Adversarial Color Film (AdvCF), which manipulates the physical parameters of color film to perform attacks. Carefully designed experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method in both digital and physical environments. In addition, experimental results show that the adversarial samples generated by AdvCF have excellent performance in attack transferability, which enables AdvCF effective black-box attacks. At the same time, we give the guidance of defense against AdvCF by means of adversarial training. Finally, we look into AdvCF's threat to future vision-based systems and propose some promising mentality for camera-based physical attacks.

The study of adversarial vulnerabilities of deep neural networks (DNNs) has progressed rapidly. Existing attacks require either internal access (to the architecture, parameters, or training set of the victim model) or external access (to query the model). However, both the access may be infeasible or expensive in many scenarios. We investigate no-box adversarial examples, where the attacker can neither access the model information or the training set nor query the model. Instead, the attacker can only gather a small number of examples from the same problem domain as that of the victim model. S…

In image classification of deep learning, adversarial examples where inputs intended to add small magnitude perturbations may mislead deep neural networks (DNNs) to incorrect results, which means DNNs are vulnerable to them. Different attack and defense strategies have been proposed to better research the mechanism of deep learning. However, those research in these networks are only for one aspect, either an attack or a defense, not considering that attacks and defenses should be interdependent and mutually reinforcing, just like the relationship between spears and shields. In this paper, we p…

The vulnerability of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to adversarial examples has been confirmed. Existing adversarial defenses primarily aim at preventing adversarial examples from attacking DNNs successfully, rather than preventing their generation. If the generation of adversarial examples is unregulated, images within reach are no longer secure and pose a threat to non-robust DNNs. Although gradient obfuscation attempts to address this issue, it has been shown to be circumventable. Therefore, we propose a novel adversarial defense mechanism, which is referred to as immune defense and is the exa…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) provide state-of-the-art results on various tasks and are widely used in real world applications. However, it was discovered that machine learning models, including the best performing DNNs, suffer from a fundamental problem: they can unexpectedly and confidently misclassify examples formed by slightly perturbing otherwise correctly recognized inputs. Various approaches have been developed for efficiently generating these so-called adversarial examples, but those mostly rely on ascending the gradient of loss. In this paper, we introduce the novel logits optimized ta…
Adversarial attacks have been shown to be highly effective at degrading the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs). The most prominent defense is adversarial training, a method for learning a robust model. Nevertheless, adversarial training does not make DNNs immune to adversarial perturbations. We propose a novel solution by adopting the recently suggested Predictive Normalized Maximum Likelihood. Specifically, our defense performs adversarial targeted attacks according to different hypotheses, where each hypothesis assumes a specific label for the test sample. Then, by comparing the hypo…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems have shown to be highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations that are deliberately designed yet almost imperceptible but can bias DNN inference when added to targeted objects. This leads to serious safety concerns when applying DNNs to high-stake SAR ATR applications. Therefore, enhancing the adversarial robustness of DNNs is essential for implementing DNNs to modern real-world SAR ATR systems. Toward building more robust DNN-based SAR ATR models, this article explores the domain know…

As deep neural networks (DNNs) have become increasingly important and popular, the robustness of DNNs is the key to the safety of both the Internet and the physical world. Unfortunately, some recent studies show that adversarial examples, which are hard to be distinguished from real examples, can easily fool DNNs and manipulate their predictions. Upon observing that adversarial examples are mostly generated by gradient-based methods, in this paper, we first propose to use a simple yet very effective non-differentiable hybrid model that combines DNNs and random forests, rather than hide gradien…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are computationally/memory-intensive and vulnerable to adversarial attacks, making them prohibitive in some real-world applications. By converting dense models into sparse ones, pruning appears to be a promising solution to reducing the computation/memory cost. This paper studies classification models, especially DNN-based ones, to demonstrate that there exists intrinsic relationships between their sparsity and adversarial robustness. Our analyses reveal, both theoretically and empirically, that nonlinear DNN-based classifiers behave differently under $l_2$ attacks …

Human can easily recognize visual objects with lost information: even losing most details with only contour reserved, e.g. cartoon. However, in terms of visual perception of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), the ability for recognizing abstract objects (visual objects with lost information) is still a challenge. In this work, we investigate this issue from an adversarial viewpoint: will the performance of DNNs decrease even for the images only losing a little information? Towards this end, we propose a novel adversarial attack, named \textit{AdvDrop}, which crafts adversarial examples by dropping e…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial examples where inputs with imperceptible perturbations mislead DNNs to incorrect results. Despite the potential risk they bring, adversarial examples are also valuable for providing insights into the weakness and blind-spots of DNNs. Thus, the interpretability of a DNN in the adversarial setting aims to explain the rationale behind its decision-making process and makes deeper understanding which results in better practical applications. To address this issue, we try to explain adversarial robustness for deep models from a new perspectiv…

Fooling deep neural networks (DNNs) with the black-box optimization has become a popular adversarial attack fashion, as the structural prior knowledge of DNNs is always unknown. Nevertheless, recent black-box adversarial attacks may struggle to balance their attack ability and visual quality of the generated adversarial examples (AEs) in tackling high-resolution images. In this paper, we propose an attention-guided black-box adversarial attack based on the large-scale multiobjective evolutionary optimization, termed as LMOA. By considering the spatial semantic information of images, we firstly…

Modern deep neural networks(DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial samples. Sparse adversarial samples are a special branch of adversarial samples that can fool the target model by only perturbing a few pixels. The existence of the sparse adversarial attack points out that DNNs are much more vulnerable than people believed, which is also a new aspect for analyzing DNNs. However, current sparse adversarial attack methods still have some shortcomings on both sparsity and invisibility. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage distortion-aware greedy-based method dubbed as "GreedyFool". Specifical…

Despite the efficacy on a variety of computer vision tasks, deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, limiting their applications in security-critical systems. Recent works have shown the possibility of generating imperceptibly perturbed image inputs (a.k.a., adversarial examples) to fool well-trained DNN classifiers into making arbitrary predictions. To address this problem, we propose a training recipe named "deep defense". Our core idea is to integrate an adversarial perturbation-based regularizer into the classification objective, such that the obtained models lear…

Transferable adversarial attacks against Deep neural networks (DNNs) have received broad attention in recent years. An adversarial example can be crafted by a surrogate model and then attack the unknown target model successfully, which brings a severe threat to DNNs. The exact underlying reasons for the transferability are still not completely understood. Previous work mostly explores the causes from the model perspective, e.g., decision boundary, model architecture, and model capacity. adversarial attacks against Deep neural networks (DNNs) have received broad attention in recent years.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial examples generated by imposing subtle perturbations to inputs that lead a model to predict incorrect outputs. Currently, a large number of researches on defending adversarial examples pay little attention to the real-world applications, either with high computational complexity or poor defensive effects. Motivated by this observation, we develop an efficient preprocessing method to defend adversarial images. Specifically, before an adversarial example is fed into the model, we perform two image transformations: WebP compression, which i…
Though deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown superiority over other techniques in major fields like computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, recently, it has been proven that they are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The addition of a simple, small and almost invisible perturbation to the original input image can be used to fool DNNs into making wrong decisions. With more attack algorithms being designed, a need for defending the neural networks from such attacks arises. Retraining the network with adversarial images is one of the simplest techniques. In this paper, we evalua…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are known to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. A range of defense methods have been proposed to train adversarially robust DNNs, among which adversarial training has demonstrated promising results. However, despite preliminary understandings developed for adversarial training, it is still not clear, from the architectural perspective, what configurations can lead to more robust DNNs. In this paper, we address this gap via a comprehensive investigation on the impact of network width and depth on the robustness of adversarially trained DNNs. Specifically, we make …

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have recently led to significant improvements in many fields. However, DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial examples which are samples with imperceptible perturbations while dramatically misleading the DNNs. Adversarial attacks can be used to evaluate the robustness of deep learning models before they are deployed. Unfortunately, most of existing adversarial attacks can only fool a black-box model with a low success rate. To improve the success rates for black-box adversarial attacks, we proposed an iterated adversarial attack against an ensemble of image classifiers.…
Recent studies show that the deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved great success in various tasks. However, even the \emph{state-of-the-art} deep learning based classifiers are extremely vulnerable to adversarial examples, resulting in sharp decay of discrimination accuracy in the presence of enormous unknown attacks. Given the fact that neural networks are widely used in the open world scenario which can be safety-critical situations, mitigating the adversarial effects of deep learning methods has become an urgent need. Generally, conventional DNNs can be attacked with a dramatically high…

Model compression and model defense for deep neural networks (DNNs) have been extensively and individually studied. Considering the co-importance of model compactness and robustness in practical applications, several prior works have explored to improve the adversarial robustness of the sparse neural networks. However, the structured sparse models obtained by the exiting works suffer severe performance degradation for both benign and robust accuracy, thereby causing a challenging dilemma between robustness and structuredness of the compact DNNs. To address this problem, in this paper, we propo…

Powerful adversarial attack methods are vital for understanding how to construct robust deep neural networks (DNNs) and for thoroughly testing defense techniques. In this paper, we propose a black-box adversarial attack algorithm that can defeat both vanilla DNNs and those generated by various defense techniques developed recently. Instead of searching for an "optimal" adversarial example for a benign input to a targeted DNN, our algorithm finds a probability density distribution over a small region centered around the input, such that a sample drawn from this distribution is likely an adversa…

Batch normalization (BN) has been widely used in modern deep neural networks (DNNs) due to improved convergence. BN is observed to increase the model accuracy while at the cost of adversarial robustness. There is an increasing interest in the ML community to understand the impact of BN on DNNs, especially related to the model robustness. This work attempts to understand the impact of BN on DNNs from a non-robust feature perspective. Straightforwardly, the improved accuracy can be attributed to the better utilization of useful features. It remains unclear whether BN mainly favors learning robus…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have recently led to significant improvements in many fields. However, DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial examples which are samples with imperceptible perturbations while dramatically misleading the DNNs. Moreover, adversarial examples can be used to perform an attack on various kinds of DNN based systems, even if the adversary has no access to the underlying model. Many defense methods have been proposed, such as obfuscating gradients of the networks or detecting adversarial examples. However it is proved out that these defense methods are not effective or cannot …
This paper aims to explain adversarial attacks in terms of how adversarial perturbations contribute to the attacking task. We estimate attributions of different image regions to the decrease of the attacking cost based on the Shapley value. We define and quantify interactions among adversarial perturbation pixels, and decompose the entire perturbation map into relatively independent perturbation components. The decomposition of the perturbation map shows that adversarially-trained DNNs have more perturbation components in the foreground than normally-trained DNNs. Moreover, compared to the nor…

Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) based adversarial training has become one of the most prominent methods for building robust deep neural network models. However, the computational complexity associated with this approach, due to the maximization of the loss function when finding adversaries, is a longstanding problem and may be prohibitive when using larger and more complex models. In this paper we show that the initial phase of adversarial training is redundant and can be replaced with natural training which significantly improves the computational efficiency. We demonstrate that this efficie…
The adversarial vulnerability of deep neural networks (DNNs) has been actively investigated in the past several years. This paper investigates the scale-variant property of cross-entropy loss, which is the most commonly used loss function in classification tasks, and its impact on the effective margin and adversarial robustness of deep neural networks. Since the loss function is not invariant to logit scaling, increasing the effective weight norm will make the loss approach zero and its gradient vanish while the effective margin is not adequately maximized. On typical DNNs, we demonstrate that…

Some recent works revealed that deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to so-called adversarial attacks where input examples are intentionally perturbed to fool DNNs. In this work, we revisit the DNN training process that includes adversarial examples into the training dataset so as to improve DNN's resilience to adversarial attacks, namely, adversarial training. Our experiments show that different adversarial strengths, i.e., perturbation levels of adversarial examples, have different working zones to resist the attack. Based on the observation, we propose a multi-strength adversarial tra…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In particular, a single perturbation known as the universal adversarial perturbation (UAP) can foil most classification tasks conducted by DNNs. Thus, different methods for generating UAPs are required to fully evaluate the vulnerability of DNNs. A realistic evaluation would be with cases that consider targeted attacks; wherein the generated UAP causes DNN to classify an input into a specific class. However, the development of UAPs for targeted attacks has largely fallen behind that of UAPs for non-targeted attacks. Therefore, …

Video classification is a challenging task in computer vision. Although Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved excellent performance in video classification, recent research shows adding imperceptible perturbations to clean videos can make the well-trained models output wrong labels with high confidence. In this paper, we propose an effective defense framework to characterize and defend adversarial videos. The proposed method contains two phases: (1) adversarial video detection using temporal consistency between adjacent frames, and (2) adversarial perturbation reduction via denoisers in th…
Deep Learning is able to solve a plethora of once impossible problems. However, they are vulnerable to input adversarial attacks preventing them from being autonomously deployed in critical applications.

We show that bit-error noise in hybrid memories due to erroneous 6T-SRAM cells have…

A number of defense methods have been proposed to train robust DNNs resistant to adversarial attacks, among which adversarial training has so far demonstrated the most promising results. However, recent studies have shown that there exists an inherent tradeoff between accuracy and robustness in adversarially-trained DNNs. In this paper, we propose a novel technique Dual Head Adversarial Training (DH-AT) to further improve the robustne…
State-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) are highly effective at tackling many real-world tasks. However, their wide adoption in mission-critical contexts is hampered by two major weaknesses - their susceptibility to adversarial attacks and their opaqueness. The former raises concerns about the security and generalization of DNNs in real-world conditions, whereas the latter impedes users' trust in their output. In this research, we (1) examine the effect of adversarial robustness on interpretability and (2) present a novel approach for improving the interpretability of DNNs that is based o…
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…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved great success in solving a variety of machine learning (ML) problems, especially in the domain of image recognition. However, recent research showed that DNNs can be highly vulnerable to adversarially generated instances, which look seemingly normal to human observers, but completely confuse DNNs. These adversarial samples are crafted by adding small perturbations to normal, benign images. Such perturbations, while imperceptible to the human eye, are picked up by DNNs and cause them to misclassify the manipulated instances with high confidence. In this…
Despite the fact that deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved prominent performance in various applications, it is well known that DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial examples/samples (AEs) with imperceptible perturbations in clean/original samples. To overcome the weakness of the existing defense methods against adversarial attacks, which damages the information on the original samples, leading to the decrease of the target classifier accuracy, this paper presents an enhanced countering adversarial attack method IDFR (via Input Denoising and Feature Restoring). The proposed IDFR is made up o…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most widely used diagnostic tool to monitor the condition of the human heart. By using deep neural networks (DNNs), interpretation of ECG signals can be fully automated for the identification of potential abnormalities in a patient's heart in a fraction of a second.

However, despite of the excellent performance in classification accuracy, DNNs are highly vulnerable to adversarial noises that are subtle change…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been proven to be vulnerable to adversarial examples. A special branch of adversarial examples, namely sparse adversarial examples, can fool the target DNNs by perturbing only a few pixels. However, many existing sparse adversarial attacks use heuristic methods to select the pixels to be perturbed, and regard the pixel selection and the adversarial attack as two separate steps. From the perspective of neural network pruning, we propose a novel end-to-end sparse adversarial attack method, namely AutoAdversary, which can find the most important pixels automatical…

In a separate and yet related area, recent works have explored to quantize neural network weights and activation functions into low bit-width to compress model size and reduce computational complexity. In this work, we find that these two different tracks, namely the pursuit of network compactness and robustness, can be merged into one and give rise to networks of both advantages. To the best of…

Recent studies show deep neural networks (DNNs) are extremely vulnerable to the elaborately designed adversarial examples. Adversarial learning with those adversarial examples has been proved as one of the most effective methods to defend against such an attack. At present, most existing adversarial examples generation methods are based on first-order gradients, which can hardly further improve models' robustness, especially when facing second-order adversarial attacks. Compared with first-order gradients, second-order gradients provide a more accurate approximation of the loss landscape with …
Adversarial examples, crafted by adding imperceptible perturbations to natural inputs, can easily fool deep neural networks (DNNs). One of the most successful methods for training adversarially robust DNNs is solving a nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problem with an adversarial training (AT) algorithm. However, among the many AT algorithms, only Dynamic AT (DAT) and You Only Propagate Once (YOPO) guarantee convergence to a stationary point. In this work, we generalize the stochastic primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm to develop semi-implicit hybrid gradient methods (SI-HGs) for finding station…
Adversarial examples contain carefully crafted perturbations that can fool deep neural networks (DNNs) into making wrong predictions. Enhancing the adversarial robustness of DNNs has gained considerable interest in recent years. Although image transformation-based defenses were widely considered at an earlier time, most of them have been defeated by adaptive attacks. In this paper, we propose a new image transformation defense based on error diffusion halftoning, and combine it with adversarial training to defend against adversarial examples. Error diffusion halftoning projects an image into a…
Breakthroughs in machine learning have resulted in state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) performing classification tasks in safety-critical applications. Recent research has demonstrated that DNNs can be attacked through adversarial examples, which are small perturbations to input data that cause the DNN to misclassify objects. The proliferation of DNNs raises important safety concerns about designing systems that are robust to adversarial examples. In this work we develop adversarial examples to attack the Yolo V3 object detector [1] and then study strategies to detect and neutralize t…

Existing deep neural networks (DNNs) that achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on both clean and adversarially-perturbed images rely on either activation or weight conditioned convolution operations. However, such conditional learning costs additional multiply-accumulate (MAC) or addition operations, increasing inference memory and compute costs. To that end, we present a sparse mixture once for all adversarial training (SMART), that allows a model to train once and then in-situ trade-off between accuracy and robustness, that too at a reduced compute and parameter overhead. In particula…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown to be vulnerable against adversarial examples (AEs) which are maliciously designed to fool target models. The normal examples (NEs) added with imperceptible adversarial perturbation, can be a security threat to DNNs. Although the existing AEs detection methods have achieved a high accuracy, they failed to exploit the information of the AEs detected. Thus, based on high-dimension perturbation extraction, we propose a model-free AEs detection method, the whole process of which is free from querying the victim model. Research shows that DNNs are sensiti…
