• Title: Diversity can be Transferred: Output Diversification for White- and Black-box Attacks
• Authors: Yusuke Tashiro, Yang Song, Stefano Ermon
• Abstract summary: Adrial attacks often involve random perturbations of the inputs drawn from uniform or Gaussian distributions, e.g., to initialize optimization-based white-box attacks or generate update directions in black-box attacks. We propose Output Diversified Sampling (ODS), a novel sampling strategy that attempts to maximize diversity in the target model's outputs among the generated samples. ODS significantly improves the performance of existing white-box and black-box attacks. In particular, ODS reduces the number of queries needed for state-of-the-art black-box attacks on ImageNet by a factor of two.

• Abstract: Adversarial attacks often involve random perturbations of the inputs drawn from uniform or Gaussian distributions, e.g., to initialize optimization-based white-box attacks or generate update directions in black-box attacks. These simple perturbations, however, could be sub-optimal as they are agnostic to the model being attacked. To improve the efficiency of these attacks, we propose Output Diversified Sampling (ODS), a novel sampling strategy that attempts to maximize diversity in the target model's outputs among the generated samples. While ODS is a gradient-based strategy, the diversity offered by ODS is transferable and can be helpful for both white-box and black-box attacks via surrogate models. Empirically, we demonstrate that ODS significantly improves the performance of existing white-box and black-box attacks. In particular, ODS reduces the number of queries needed for state-of-the-art black-box attacks on ImageNet by a factor of two.

  Recent studies have shown that adversarial examples hand-crafted on one white-box model can be used to attack other black-box models. We propose a simple yet effective cross-modal attack method, named as Image To Video (I2V) attack. I2V generates adversarial frames by minimizing the cosine similarity between features of pre-trained image models from adversarial and benign examples.

  This paper proposes a novel architecture called Metaversa Gradient Adrial Attack (MGAA), which is plug-and-play and can be integrated with any existing gradient-based attack method. Specifically, we randomly sample multiple models from a model zoo to compose different tasks and iteratively simulate a white-box attack and a black-box attack in each task. By narrowing the gap between the gradient directions in white-box and black-box attacks, the transferability of adversarial examples on the black-box setting can be improved.
