• Abstract: 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 objective agnostic and consistently improves both the conventional adversarial training objective and the TRADES objective. Our adaptive networks also outperform larger widened non-adaptive architectures that have 1.5 times more parameters. We further introduce several practical ``tricks'' in adversarial training to improve robustness and empirically verify their efficiency.

  We propose a collaborative adversarial training framework to improve the robustness of neural networks. Specifically, we use different adversarial training methods to train robust models and let models interact with their knowledge during the training process. Cat achieves state-of-the-art adversarial robustness without using any additional data on CIFAR-10 under the Auto-Attack benchmark.

  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 introduce two alternatives for sparse adversarial training: (i) static sparsity and (ii) dynamic sparsity. We find both methods to yield win-win: substantially shrinking the robust generalization gap and alleviating the robust overfitting. Our approaches can be combined with existing regularizers, establishing new state-of-the-art results in adversarial training.
