• Abstract summary: We investigate the effectiveness of combining differential privacy, model compression and adversarial training to improve the robustness of models against adversarial samples in train- and inference-time attacks. Our investigation provides a practical overview of various methods that allow one to achieve a competitive model performance, a significant reduction in model's size and an improved empirical adversarial robustness without a severe performance degradation.

• Abstract: We investigate the effectiveness of combining differential privacy, model compression and adversarial training to improve the robustness of models against adversarial samples in train- and inference-time attacks. We explore the applications of these techniques as well as their combinations to determine which method performs best, without a significant utility trade-off. Our investigation provides a practical overview of various methods that allow one to achieve a competitive model performance, a significant reduction in model's size and an improved empirical adversarial robustness without a severe performance degradation.

  Adrial training has been presented as a mitigation strategy which can result in more robust models. We explore the effects of two different model compression methods -- structured weight pruning and quantization -- on adversarial robustness. We show that adversarial fine-tuning of compressed models can achieve robustness performance comparable to adversarially trained models.

  In many real-world applications such as health diagnosis and autonomous surgical robotics, the standard performance is more valued over model robustness against such extremely malicious attacks. This work proposes a simple yet effective transfer learning-based adversarial training strategy that disentangles the negative effects of adversarial samples on model's standard performance. In addition, we introduce a training-friendly adversarial attack algorithm, which facilitates the boost of adversarial robustness without introducing significant training complexity.

  A range of adversarial defense techniques have been proposed to mitigate the interference of adversarial noise. Pre-processing methods may suffer from the robustness degradation effect. A potential cause of this negative effect is that adversarial training examples are static and independent to the pre-processing model. We propose a method called Joint Adversarial Training based Pre-processing (JATP) defense.
