• Authors: Hong Wang, Yuefan Deng, Shinjae Yoo, Yuewei Lin
• Abstract summary: We explore the robust features which are not affected by the adversarial perturbations to improve the model's adversarial robustness. Specifically, we propose a feature disentanglement model to segregate the robust features from non-robust features and domain specific features. The trained domain discriminator is able to identify the domain specific features from the clean images and adversarial examples almost perfectly.

• Abstract: While deep neural networks (DNNs) have revolutionized many fields, their fragility to carefully designed adversarial attacks impedes the usage of DNNs in safety-critical applications. In this paper, we strive to explore the robust features which are not affected by the adversarial perturbations, i.e., invariant to the clean image and its adversarial examples, to improve the model's adversarial robustness. Specifically, we propose a feature disentanglement model to segregate the robust features from non-robust features and domain specific features. The extensive experiments on four widely used datasets with different attacks demonstrate that robust features obtained from our model improve the model's adversarial robustness compared to the state-of-the-art approaches. Moreover, the trained domain discriminator is able to identify the domain specific features from the clean images and adversarial examples almost perfectly. This enables adversarial example detection without incurring additional computational costs. With that, we can also specify different classifiers for clean images and adversarial examples, thereby avoiding any drop in clean image accuracy.

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are well-known for their vulnerability to adversarial attacks, posing significant security concerns. Most existing methods either focus on learning from adversarial perturbations, leading to overfitting to the adversarial examples, or aim to eliminate such perturbations during inference. We introduce a novel and effective Feature Pattern Consistency Constraint (FPCC) method to reinforce the latent feature's capacity to maintain the correct feature pattern.

We propose a disentanglement-based approach to explicitly model and remove the latent features that cause the feature gap. Empirical evaluations on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach surpasses existing adversarial fine-tuning methods and adversarial training baselines.
