Robustness issues arise in a variety of forms and are studied through multiple lenses in the machine learning literature. Neural networks lack adversarial robustness -- they are vulnerable to adversarial examples that through small perturbations to inputs cause incorrect predictions. Further, trust is undermined when models give miscalibrated or unstable uncertainty estimates, i.e. the predicted probability is not a good indicator of how much we should trust our model and could vary greatly over multiple independent runs. In this paper, we study the connection between adversarial robustness, predictive uncertainty (calibration) and model uncertainty (stability) on multiple classification networks and datasets. We find that the inputs for which the model is sensitive to small perturbations (are easily attacked) are more likely to have poorly calibrated and unstable predictions. Based on this insight, we examine if calibration and stability can be improved by addressing those adversarially unrobust inputs. To this end, we propose Adversarial Robustness based Adaptive Label Smoothing (AR-AdaLS) that integrates the correlations of adversarial robustness and uncertainty into training by adaptively softening labels conditioned on how easily it can be attacked by adversarial examples. We find that our method, taking the adversarial robustness of the in-distribution data into consideration, leads to better calibration and stability over the model even under distributional shifts. In addition, AR-AdaLS can also be applied to an ensemble model to achieve the best calibration performance.

Though deep neural networks have achieved significant progress on various tasks, often enhanced by model ensemble, existing high-performance models can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Many efforts have been devoted to enhancing the robustness o
f individual networks and then constructing a straightforward ensemble, e.g., by directly averaging the outputs, which ignores the interaction among networks. This paper presents a new method that explores the interaction among individual networks to improve robustness for ensemble models. Technically, we define a new notion of ensemble diversity in the adversarial setting as the diversity among non-maximal predictions of individual members, and present an adaptive diversity promoting (ADP) regularizer to encourage the diversity, which leads to globally better robustness for the ensemble by making adversarial examples difficult to transfer among individual members. Our method is computationally efficient and compatible with the defense methods acting on individual networks. Empirical results on various datasets verify that our method can improve adversarial robustness while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy on normal examples.
Data augmentation by incorporating cheap unlabeled data from multiple domains is a powerful way to improve prediction especially when there is limited labeled data. In this work, we investigate how adversarial robustness can be enhanced by leveraging
out-of-domain unlabeled data. We demonstrate that for broad classes of distributions and classifiers, there exists a sample complexity gap between standard and robust classification. We quantify to what degree this gap can be bridged via leveraging unlabeled samples from a shifted domain by providing both upper and lower bounds. Moreover, we show settings where we achieve better adversarial robustness when the unlabeled data come from a shifted domain rather than the same domain as the labeled data. We also investigate how to leverage out-of-domain data when some structural information, such as sparsity, is shared between labeled and unlabeled domains. Experimentally, we augment two object recognition datasets (CIFAR-10 and SVHN) with easy to obtain and unlabeled out-of-domain data and demonstrate substantial improvement in the models robustness against $ell_infty$ adversarial attacks on the original domain.
The vulnerability of deep neural networks (DNNs) to adversarial attack, which is an attack that can mislead state-of-the-art classifiers into making an incorrect classification with high confidence by deliberately perturbing the original inputs, rais
es concerns about the robustness of DNNs to such attacks. Adversarial training, which is the main heuristic method for improving adversarial robustness and the first line of defense against adversarial attacks, requires many sample-by-sample calculations to increase training size and is usually insufficiently strong for an entire network. This paper provides a new perspective on the issue of adversarial robustness, one that shifts the focus from the network as a whole to the critical part of the region close to the decision boundary corresponding to a given class. From this perspective, we propose a method to generate a single but image-agnostic adversarial perturbation that carries the semantic information implying the directions to the fragile parts on the decision boundary and causes inputs to be misclassified as a specified target. We call the adversarial training based on such perturbations region adversarial training (RAT), which resembles classical adversarial training but is distinguished in that it reinforces the semantic information missing in the relevant regions. Experimental results on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets show that this approach greatly improves adversarial robustness even using a very small dataset from the training data; moreover, it can defend against FGSM adversarial attacks that have a completely different pattern from the model seen during retraining.
We focus on the use of proxy distributions, i.e., approximations of the underlying distribution of the training dataset, in both understanding and improving the adversarial robustness in image classification. While additional training data helps in a
dversarial training, curating a very large number of real-world images is challenging. In contrast, proxy distributions enable us to sample a potentially unlimited number of images and improve adversarial robustness using these samples. We first ask the question: when does adversarial robustness benefit from incorporating additional samples from the proxy distribution in the training stage? We prove that the difference between the robustness of a classifier on the proxy and original training dataset distribution is upper bounded by the conditional Wasserstein distance between them. Our result confirms the intuition that samples from a proxy distribution that closely approximates training dataset distribution should be able to boost adversarial robustness. Motivated by this finding, we leverage samples from state-of-the-art generative models, which can closely approximate training data distribution, to improve robustness. In particular, we improve robust accuracy by up to 6.1% and 5.7% in $l_{infty}$ and $l_2$ threat model, and certified robust accuracy by 6.7% over baselines not using proxy distributions on the CIFAR-10 dataset. Since we can sample an unlimited number of images from a proxy distribution, it also allows us to investigate the effect of an increasing number of training samples on adversarial robustness. Here we provide the first large scale empirical investigation of accuracy vs robustness trade-off and sample complexity of adversarial training by training deep neural networks on 2K to 10M images.
Driven by massive amounts of data and important advances in computational resources, new deep learning systems have achieved outstanding results in a large spectrum of applications. Nevertheless, our current theoretical understanding on the mathemati
cal foundations of deep learning lags far behind its empirical success. Towards solving the vulnerability of neural networks, however, the field of adversarial robustness has recently become one of the main sources of explanations of our deep models. In this article, we provide an in-depth review of the field of adversarial robustness in deep learning, and give a self-contained introduction to its main notions. But, in contrast to the mainstream pessimistic perspective of adversarial robustness, we focus on the main positive aspects that it entails. We highlight the intuitive connection between adversarial examples and the geometry of deep neural networks, and eventually explore how the geometric study of adversarial examples can serve as a powerful tool to understand deep learning. Furthermore, we demonstrate the broad applicability of adversarial robustness, providing an overview of the main emerging applications of adversarial robustness beyond security. The goal of this article is to provide readers with a set of new perspectives to understand deep learning, and to supply them with intuitive tools and insights on how to use adversarial robustness to improve it.
