• Abstract: Adversarial training has been demonstrated to be the most effective approach to defend against adversarial attacks. However, existing adversarial training methods show apparent oscillations and overfitting issue in the training process, degrading the defense efficacy. In this work, we propose a novel framework, termed Parameter Interpolation based Adversarial Training (PIAT), that makes full use of the historical information during training. Specifically, at the end of each epoch, PIAT tunes the model parameters as the interpolation of the parameters of the previous and current epochs. Besides, we suggest to use the Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE) to further improve the robustness by aligning the clean and adversarial examples. Compared with other regularization methods, NMSE focuses more on the relative magnitude of the logits rather than the absolute magnitude. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets and various networks show that our method could prominently improve the model robustness and reduce the generalization error. Moreover, our framework is general and could further boost the robust accuracy when combined with other adversarial training methods.

  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.

  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.

  This paper proposes an attack-independent (non-adversarial training) technique for improving adversarial robustness of neural network models. We suggest creating a neighborhood around each training example, such that the label is kept constant for all inputs within that neighborhood. Results suggest that the proposed approach improves standard accuracy over other defenses while having increased robustness compared to vanilla adversarial training.

  As training progresses, the training data becomes less and less attackable, undermining the robustness enhancement. We propose the guided framework (GIF), which employs the previous epoch's meta information to guide the data's adversarial variants. Compared with the vanilla mixup, the GIF can provide a higher ratio of attackable data, which is beneficial to the robustness enhancement.
