Machine learning models are increasingly used in the industry to make decisions such as credit insurance approval. Some people may be tempted to manipulate specific variables, such as the age or the salary, in order to get better chances of approval. In this ongoing work, we propose to discuss, with a first proposition, the issue of detecting a potential local adversarial example on classical tabular data by providing to a human expert the locally critical features for the classifiers decision, in order to control the provided information and avoid a fraud.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial examples with small perturbations. Adversarial defense thus has been an important means which improves the robustness of DNNs by defending against adversarial examples. Existing defense methods focus on some specific types of adversarial examples and may fail to defend well in real-world applications. In practice, we may face many types of attacks where the exact type of adversarial examples in real-world applications can be even unknown. In this paper, motivated by that adversarial examples are more likely to appear near the classification boundary, we study adversarial examples from a new perspective that whether we can defend against adversarial examples by pulling them back to the original clean distribution. We theoretically and empirically verify the existence of defense affine transformations that restore adversarial examples. Relying on this, we learn a defense transformer to counterattack the adversarial examples by parameterizing the affine transformations and exploiting the boundary information of DNNs. Extensive experiments on both toy and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization of our defense transformer.
In this paper, we propose a new framework to detect adversarial examples motivated by the observations that random components can improve the smoothness of predictors and make it easier to simulate output distribution of deep neural network. With these observations, we propose a novel Bayesian adversarial example detector, short for BATer, to improve the performance of adversarial example detection. In specific, we study the distributional difference of hidden layer output between natural and adversarial examples, and propose to use the randomness of Bayesian neural network (BNN) to simulate hidden layer output distribution and leverage the distribution dispersion to detect adversarial examples. The advantage of BNN is that the output is stochastic while neural networks without random components do not have such characteristics. Empirical results on several benchmark datasets against popular attacks show that the proposed BATer outperforms the state-of-the-art detectors in adversarial example detection.
Machine learning systems and also, specifically, automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are vulnerable against adversarial attacks, where an attacker maliciously changes the input. In the case of ASR systems, the most interesting cases are targeted attacks, in which an attacker aims to force the system into recognizing given target transcriptions in an arbitrary audio sample. The increasing number of sophisticated, quasi imperceptible attacks raises the question of countermeasures. In this paper, we focus on hybrid ASR systems and compare four acoustic models regarding their ability to indicate uncertainty under attack: a feed-forward neural network and three neural networks specifically designed for uncertainty quantification, namely a Bayesian neural network, Monte Carlo dropout, and a deep ensemble. We employ uncertainty measures of the acoustic model to construct a simple one-class classification model for assessing whether inputs are benign or adversarial. Based on this approach, we are able to detect adversarial examples with an area under the receiving operator curve score of more than 0.99. The neural networks for uncertainty quantification simultaneously diminish the vulnerability to the attack, which is reflected in a lower recognition accuracy of the malicious target text in comparison to a standard hybrid ASR system.
Though deep neural network has hit a huge success in recent studies and applica- tions, it still remains vulnerable to adversarial perturbations which are imperceptible to humans. To address this problem, we propose a novel network called ReabsNet to achieve high classification accuracy in the face of various attacks. The approach is to augment an existing classification network with a guardian network to detect if a sample is natural or has been adversarially perturbed. Critically, instead of simply rejecting adversarial examples, we revise them to get their true labels. We exploit the observation that a sample containing adversarial perturbations has a possibility of returning to its true class after revision. We demonstrate that our ReabsNet outperforms the state-of-the-art defense method under various adversarial attacks.
Despite being popularly used in many applications, neural network models have been found to be vulnerable to adversarial examples, i.e., carefully crafted examples aiming to mislead machine learning models. Adversarial examples can pose potential risks on safety and security critical applications. However, existing defense approaches are still vulnerable to attacks, especially in a white-box attack scenario. To address this issue, we propose a new defense approach, named MulDef, based on robustness diversity. Our approach consists of (1) a general defense framework based on multiple models and (2) a technique for generating these multiple models to achieve high defense capability. In particular, given a target model, our framework includes multiple models (constructed from the target model) to form a model family. The model family is designed to achieve robustness diversity (i.e., an adversarial example successfully attacking one model cannot succeed in attacking other models in the family). At runtime, a model is randomly selected from the family to be applied on each input example. Our general framework can inspire rich future research to construct a desirable model family achieving higher robustness diversity. Our evaluation results show that MulDef (with only up to 5 models in the family) can substantially improve the target models accuracy on adversarial examples by 22-74% in a white-box attack scenario, while maintaining similar accuracy on legitimate examples.
