• Abstract summary: We derive a new regularized risk, in which the regularizer can adaptively encourage the accuracy and robustness of the smoothed counterpart. We also design a new certification algorithm, which can leverage the regularization effect to provide tighter robustness lower bound that holds with high probability.

• Abstract: Recently smoothing deep neural network based classifiers via isotropic Gaussian perturbation is shown to be an effective and scalable way to provide state-of-the-art probabilistic robustness guarantee against $\ell_2$ norm bounded adversarial perturbations. However, how to train a good base classifier that is accurate and robust when smoothed has not been fully investigated. In this work, we derive a new regularized risk, in which the regularizer can adaptively encourage the accuracy and robustness of the smoothed counterpart when training the base classifier. It is computationally efficient and can be implemented in parallel with other empirical defense methods. We discuss how to implement it under both standard (non-adversarial) and adversarial training scheme. At the same time, we also design a new certification algorithm, which can leverage the regularization effect to provide tighter robustness lower bound that holds with high probability. Our extensive experimentation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed training and certification approaches on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets.

  We show that a robust base classifier's confidence difference for correct and incorrect examples is the key to this improvement. We adapt an adversarial input detector into a mixing network that adaptively adjusts the mixture of the two base models. The proposed flexible method, termed "adaptive smoothing", can work in conjunction with existing or even future methods that improve clean accuracy, robustness, or adversary detection.

  Current deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where adversarial perturbations to the inputs can change or manipulate classification. To defend against such attacks, an effective approach, known as adversarial training (AT), has been shown to mitigate robust training. We propose a large-batch adversarial training framework implemented over multiple machines.

  We propose a training scheme, coined SmoothMix, to control the robustness of smoothed classifiers via self-mixup. The proposed procedure effectively identifies over-confident, near off-class samples as a cause of limited robustness. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the certified $ell$-robustness of smoothed classifiers.
