• Abstract summary: Adversarial attacks can mislead CNN models with small perturbations, which can effectively transfer between different models trained on the same dataset. We propose DVERGE, which isolates the adversarial vulnerability in each sub-model by distilling non-robust features. The novel diversity metric and training procedure enables DVERGE to achieve higher robustness against transfer attacks.

• Abstract: Recent research finds CNN models for image classification demonstrate overlapped adversarial vulnerabilities: adversarial attacks can mislead CNN models with small perturbations, which can effectively transfer between different models trained on the same dataset. Adversarial training, as a general robustness improvement technique, eliminates the vulnerability in a single model by forcing it to learn robust features. The process is hard, often requires models with large capacity, and suffers from significant loss on clean data accuracy. Alternatively, ensemble methods are proposed to induce sub-models with diverse outputs against a transfer adversarial example, making the ensemble robust against transfer attacks even if each sub-model is individually non-robust. Only small clean accuracy drop is observed in the process. However, previous ensemble training methods are not efficacious in inducing such diversity and thus ineffective on reaching robust ensemble. We propose DVERGE, which isolates the adversarial vulnerability in each sub-model by distilling non-robust features, and diversifies the adversarial vulnerability to induce diverse outputs against a transfer attack. The novel diversity metric and training procedure enables DVERGE to achieve higher robustness against transfer attacks comparing to previous ensemble methods, and enables the improved robustness when more sub-models are added to the ensemble.

  deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to slight adversarial perturbations. We show that strong feature representation learning during training can significantly enhance the original model's robustness. We propose MOREL, a multi-objective feature representation learning approach, encouraging classification models to produce similar features for inputs within the same class, despite perturbations.

We propose an autoencoder-based training to implement the objective, as well as practical encoder designs to facilitate the proposed hybrid discriminative-generative training.

  Malicious attackers can generate targeted adversarial examples by imposing human-imperceptible noise on images. With cross-model transferable adversarial examples, the vulnerability of neural networks remains even if the model information is kept secret from the attacker. Recent studies have shown the effectiveness of ensemble-based methods in generating transferable adversarial examples.
