• Abstract summary: Deep neural network-based image classifications are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. In this work, we propose an effective and efficient segmentation attack method, dubbed SegPGD. Since SegPGD can create more effective adversarial examples, the adversarial training with our SegPGD can boost the robustness of segmentation models.

• Abstract: Deep neural network-based image classifications are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. The image classifications can be easily fooled by adding artificial small and imperceptible perturbations to input images. As one of the most effective defense strategies, adversarial training was proposed to address the vulnerability of classification models, where the adversarial examples are created and injected into training data during training. The attack and defense of classification models have been intensively studied in past years. Semantic segmentation, as an extension of classifications, has also received great attention recently. Recent work shows a large number of attack iterations are required to create effective adversarial examples to fool segmentation models. The observation makes both robustness evaluation and adversarial training on segmentation models challenging. In this work, we propose an effective and efficient segmentation attack method, dubbed SegPGD. Besides, we provide a convergence analysis to show the proposed SegPGD can create more effective adversarial examples than PGD under the same number of attack iterations. Furthermore, we propose to apply our SegPGD as the underlying attack method for segmentation adversarial training. Since SegPGD can create more effective adversarial examples, the adversarial training with our SegPGD can boost the robustness of segmentation models. Our proposals are also verified with experiments on popular Segmentation model architectures and standard segmentation datasets.

• On Evaluating the Adversarial Robustness of Semantic Segmentation Models [0.0]
  A number of adversarial training approaches have been proposed as a defense against adversarial perturbation. We show for the first time that a number of models in previous work that are claimed to be robust are in fact not robust at all. We then evaluate simple adversarial training algorithms that produce reasonably robust models even under our set of strong attacks.

  We propose several problem-specific novel attacks minimizing different metrics in accuracy and mIoU. Surprisingly, existing attempts of adversarial training for semantic segmentation models turn out to be weak or even completely non-robust. We show how recently proposed robust ImageNet backbones can be used to obtain adversarially robust semantic segmentation models with up to six times less training time for PASCAL-VOC and the more challenging ADE20k.

  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.

  The emphbackdoor attack intends to embed hidden backdoors in deep neural networks (DNNs) by poisoning training data. We propose a novel attack paradigm, the emphfine-grained attack, where we treat the target label from the object-level instead of the image-level. Experiments show that the proposed methods can successfully attack semantic segmentation models by poisoning only a small proportion of training data.

  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.
