• Abstract summary: adversaries can steal' deployed models even when they have no training samples and can not get access to the model parameters or structures. We explore the defense from another angle by verifying whether a suspicious model contains the knowledge of defender-specified emphexternal features. Our method is effective in detecting different types of model stealing simultaneously, even if the stolen model is obtained via a multi-stage stealing process.

• Abstract: Obtaining a well-trained model involves expensive data collection and training procedures, therefore the model is a valuable intellectual property. Recent studies revealed that adversaries can `steal' deployed models even when they have no training samples and can not get access to the model parameters or structures. Currently, there were some defense methods to alleviate this threat, mostly by increasing the cost of model stealing. In this paper, we explore the defense from another angle by verifying whether a suspicious model contains the knowledge of defender-specified \emph{external features}. Specifically, we embed the external features by tempering a few training samples with style transfer. We then train a meta-classifier to determine whether a model is stolen from the victim. This approach is inspired by the understanding that the stolen models should contain the knowledge of features learned by the victim model. We examine our method on both CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective in detecting different types of model stealing simultaneously, even if the stolen model is obtained via a multi-stage stealing process. The codes for reproducing main results are available at Github (https://github.com/zlh-thu/StealingVerification).

  We propose an injection-free training data attribution method for text-to-image models.

  We propose to use model pairs on open-set classification tasks for detecting backdoors. We show that this score, can be an indicator for the presence of a backdoor despite models being of different architectures. This technique allows for the detection of backdoors on models designed for open-set classification tasks, which is little studied in the literature.

  In Model Stealing Attacks (MSA), a machine learning model is queried repeatedly to build a labelled dataset. In this work, we explore the usage of an ensemble of deep learning models as our thief model. We achieve a 21% higher adversarial sample transferability than previous work for models trained on the CIFAR-10 dataset.

  Existing model stealing defenses add deceptive perturbations to the victim's posterior probabilities to mislead the attackers. This paper proposes Isolation and Induction (InI), a novel and effective training framework for model stealing defenses. In contrast to adding perturbations over model predictions that harm the benign accuracy, we train models to produce uninformative outputs against stealing queries.

We introduce $dataset$ $inference, the process of identifying whether a suspected model copy has private knowledge from the original model's dataset. Experiments on CIFAR10, SVHN, CIFAR100 and ImageNet show that model owners can claim with confidence greater than 99% that their model (or dataset as a matter of fact) was stolen.
