• Abstract: Adversarial attacks are often considered as threats to the robustness of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Various defending techniques have been developed to mitigate the potential negative impact of adversarial attacks against task predictions. This work analyzes adversarial attacks from a different perspective. Namely, adversarial examples contain implicit information that is useful to the predictions i.e., image classification, and treat the adversarial attacks against DNNs for data self-expression as extracted abstract representations that are capable of facilitating specific learning tasks. We propose an algorithmic framework that leverages the advantages of the DNNs for data self-expression and task-specific predictions, to improve image classification. The framework jointly learns a DNN for attacking Variational Autoencoder (VAE) networks and a DNN for classification, coined as Attacking VAE for Improve Classification (AVIC). The experiment results show that AVIC can achieve higher accuracy on standard datasets compared to the training with clean examples and the traditional adversarial training.

To defend against such attacks, an effective approach, known as adversarial training (AT), has been shown to mitigate robust training.

  Poisoning attacks on machine learning systems compromise the model performance by deliberately injecting malicious samples in the training dataset. We propose a class-oriented poisoning attack that is capable of forcing the corrupted model to predict in two specific ways. To maximize the adversarial effect as well as reduce the computational complexity of poisoned data generation, we propose a gradient-based framework.

  Defense strategies that adopt adversarial training or random input transformations typically require retraining or fine-tuning the model to achieve reasonable performance. We find that we can learn a generative classifier by statistically characterizing the neural response of an intermediate layer to clean training samples. Our proposed approach uses a subset of the clean training data and a pre-trained model, and yet is agnostic to network architectures or the adversarial attack generation method.
