Adversarial examples of deep neural networks are receiving ever increasing attention because they help in understanding and reducing the sensitivity to their input. This is natural given the increasing applications of deep neural networks in our everyday lives. When white-box attacks are almost always successful, it is typically only the distortion of the perturbations that matters in their evaluation. In this work, we argue that speed is important as well, especially when considering that fast attacks are required by adversarial training. Given more time, iterative methods can always find better solutions. We investigate this speed-distortion trade-off in some depth and introduce a new attack called boundary projection (BP) that improves upon existing methods by a large margin. Our key idea is that the classification boundary is a manifold in the image space: we therefore quickly reach the boundary and then optimize distortion on this manifold.

Deep learning has come a long way and has enjoyed an unprecedented success. Despite high accuracy, however, deep models are brittle and are easily fooled by imperceptible adversarial perturbations. In contrast to common inference-time attacks, Backdoor (aka Trojan) attacks target the training phase of model construction, and are extremely difficult to combat since a) the model behaves normally on a pristine testing set and b) the augmented perturbations can be minute and may only affect few training samples. Here, I propose a new method to tell whether a model has been subject to a backdoor attack. The idea is to generate adversarial examples, targeted or untargeted, using conventional attacks such as FGSM and then feed them back to the classifier. By computing the statistics (here simply mean maps) of the images in different categories and comparing them with the statistics of a reference model, it is possible to visually locate the perturbed regions and unveil the attack.
We propose a novel approach for generating unrestricted adversarial examples by manipulating fine-grained aspects of image generation. Unlike existing unrestricted attacks that typically hand-craft geometric transformations, we learn stylistic and stochastic modifications leveraging state-of-the-art generative models. This allows us to manipulate an image in a controlled, fine-grained manner without being bounded by a norm threshold. Our approach can be used for targeted and non-targeted unrestricted attacks on classification, semantic segmentation and object detection models. Our attacks can bypass certified defenses, yet our adversarial images look indistinguishable from natural images as verified by human evaluation. Moreover, we demonstrate that adversarial training with our examples improves performance of the model on clean images without requiring any modifications to the architecture. We perform experiments on LSUN, CelebA-HQ and COCO-Stuff as high resolution datasets to validate efficacy of our proposed approach.
Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, which can mislead classifiers by adding imperceptible perturbations. An intriguing property of adversarial examples is their good transferability, making black-box attacks feasible in real-world applications. Due to the threat of adversarial attacks, many methods have been proposed to improve the robustness. Several state-of-the-art defenses are shown to be robust against transferable adversarial examples. In this paper, we propose a translation-invariant attack method to generate more transferable adversarial examples against the defense models. By optimizing a perturbation over an ensemble of translated images, the generated adversarial example is less sensitive to the white-box model being attacked and has better transferability. To improve the efficiency of attacks, we further show that our method can be implemented by convolving the gradient at the untranslated image with a pre-defined kernel. Our method is generally applicable to any gradient-based attack method. Extensive experiments on the ImageNet dataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our best attack fools eight state-of-the-art defenses at an 82% success rate on average based only on the transferability, demonstrating the insecurity of the current defense techniques.
Deep neural networks have been demonstrated to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks: subtle perturbations can completely change the classification results. Their vulnerability has led to a surge of research in this direction. However, most works dedicated to attacking anchor-based object detection models. In this work, we aim to present an effective and efficient algorithm to generate adversarial examples to attack anchor-free object models based on two approaches. First, we conduct category-wise instead of instance-wise attacks on the object detectors. Second, we leverage the high-level semantic information to generate the adversarial examples. Surprisingly, the generated adversarial examples it not only able to effectively attack the targeted anchor-free object detector but also to be transferred to attack other object detectors, even anchor-based detectors such as Faster R-CNN.
With the increasing attentions of deep learning models, attacks are also upcoming for such models. For example, an attacker may carefully construct images in specific ways (also referred to as adversarial examples) aiming to mislead the deep learning models to output incorrect classification results. Similarly, many efforts are proposed to detect and mitigate adversarial examples, usually for certain dedicated attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel digital watermark based method to generate adversarial examples for deep learning models. Specifically, partial main features of the watermark image are embedded into the host image invisibly, aiming to tamper and damage the recognition capabilities of the deep learning models. We devise an efficient mechanism to select host images and watermark images, and utilize the improved discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based Patchwork watermarking algorithm and the modified discrete cosine transform (DCT) based Patchwork watermarking algorithm. The experimental results showed that our scheme is able to generate a large number of adversarial examples efficiently. In addition, we find that using the extracted features of the image as the watermark images, can increase the success rate of an attack under certain conditions with minimal changes to the host image.
