Deep neural networks (DNN) are increasingly applied in safety-critical systems, e.g., for face recognition, autonomous car control and malware detection. It is also shown that DNNs are subject to attacks such as adversarial perturbation and thus must be properly tested. Many coverage criteria for DNN since have been proposed, inspired by the success of code coverage criteria for software programs. The expectation is that if a DNN is a well tested (and retrained) according to such coverage criteria, it is more likely to be robust. In this work, we conduct an empirical study to evaluate the relationship between coverage, robustness and attack/defense metrics for DNN. Our study is the largest to date and systematically done based on 100 DNN models and 25 metrics. One of our findings is that there is limited correlation between coverage and robustness, i.e., improving coverage does not help improve the robustness. Our dataset and implementation have been made available to serve as a benchmark for future studies on testing DNN.

Great advancement in deep neural networks (DNNs) has led to state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of tasks. However, recent studies have shown that DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, which have brought great concerns when deploying these models to safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving. Different defense approaches have been proposed against adversarial attacks, including: 1) empirical defenses, which can be adaptively attacked again without providing robustness certification; and 2) certifiably robust approaches, which consist of robustness verification providing the lower bound of robust accuracy against any attacks under certain conditions and corresponding robust training approaches. In this paper, we focus on these certifiably robust approaches and provide the first work to perform large-scale systematic analysis of different robustness verification and training approaches. In particular, we 1) provide a taxonomy for the robustness verification and training approaches, as well as discuss the detailed methodologies for representative algorithms, 2) reveal the fundamental connections among these approaches, 3) discuss current research progresses, theoretical barriers, main challenges, and several promising future directions for certified defenses for DNNs, and 4) provide an open-sourced unified platform to evaluate 20+ representative verification and corresponding robust training approaches on a wide range of DNNs.
The convolutional layers are core building blocks of neural network architectures. In general, a convolutional filter applies to the entire frequency spectrum of the input data. We explore artificially constraining the frequency spectra of these filters and data, called band-limiting, during training. The frequency domain constraints apply to both the feed-forward and back-propagation steps. Experimentally, we observe that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are resilient to this compression scheme and results suggest that CNNs learn to leverage lower-frequency components. In particular, we found: (1) band-limited training can effectively control the resource usage (GPU and memory); (2) models trained with band-limited layers retain high prediction accuracy; and (3) requires no modification to existing training algorithms or neural network architectures to use unlike other compression schemes.
Recent breakthroughs in the field of deep learning have led to advancements in a broad spectrum of tasks in computer vision, audio processing, natural language processing and other areas. In most instances where these tasks are deployed in real-world scenarios, the models used in them have been shown to be susceptible to adversarial attacks, making it imperative for us to address the challenge of their adversarial robustness. Existing techniques for adversarial robustness fall into three broad categories: defensive distillation techniques, adversarial training techniques, and randomized or non-deterministic model based techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network paradigm that falls under the category of randomized models for adversarial robustness, but differs from all existing techniques under this category in that it models each parameter of the network as a statistical distribution with learnable parameters. We show experimentally that this framework is highly robust to a variety of white-box and black-box adversarial attacks, while preserving the task-specific performance of the traditional neural network model.
Deep neural networks (DNN) have been shown to be useful in a wide range of applications. However, they are also known to be vulnerable to adversarial samples. By transforming a normal sample with some carefully crafted human imperceptible perturbations, even highly accurate DNN make wrong decisions. Multiple defense mechanisms have been proposed which aim to hinder the generation of such adversarial samples. However, a recent work show that most of them are ineffective. In this work, we propose an alternative approach to detect adversarial samples at runtime. Our main observation is that adversarial samples are much more sensitive than normal samples if we impose random mutations on the DNN. We thus first propose a measure of `sensitivity and show empirically that normal samples and adversarial samples have distinguishable sensitivity. We then integrate statistical hypothesis testing and model mutation testing to check whether an input sample is likely to be normal or adversarial at runtime by measuring its sensitivity. We evaluated our approach on the MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets. The results show that our approach detects adversarial samples generated by state-of-the-art attacking methods efficiently and accurately.
Obtaining the state of the art performance of deep learning models imposes a high cost to model generators, due to the tedious data preparation and the substantial processing requirements. To protect the model from unauthorized re-distribution, watermarking approaches have been introduced in the past couple of years. We investigate the robustness and reliability of state-of-the-art deep neural network watermarking schemes. We focus on backdoor-based watermarking and propose two -- a black-box and a white-box -- attacks that remove the watermark. Our black-box attack steals the model and removes the watermark with minimum requirements; it just relies on public unlabeled data and a black-box access to the classification label. It does not need classification confidences or access to the models sensitive information such as the training data set, the trigger set or the model parameters. The white-box attack, proposes an efficient watermark removal when the parameters of the marked model are available; our white-box attack does not require access to the labeled data or the trigger set and improves the runtime of the black-box attack up to seventeen times. We as well prove the security inadequacy of the backdoor-based watermarking in keeping the watermark undetectable by proposing an attack that detects whether a model contains a watermark. Our attacks show that a recipient of a marked model can remove a backdoor-based watermark with significantly less effort than training a new model and some other techniques are needed to protect against re-distribution by a motivated attacker.
