Alongside the well-publicized accomplishments of deep neural networks there has emerged an apparent bug in their success on tasks such as object recognition: with deep models trained using vanilla methods, input images can be slightly corrupted in order to modify output predictions, even when these corruptions are practically invisible. This apparent lack of robustness has led researchers to propose methods that can help to prevent an adversary from having such capabilities. The state-of-the-art approaches have incorporated the robustness requirement into the loss function, and the training process involves taking stochastic gradient descent steps not using original inputs but on adversarially-corrupted ones. In this paper we propose a multiclass boosting framework to ensure adversarial robustness. Boosting algorithms are generally well-suited for adversarial scenarios, as they were classically designed to satisfy a minimax guarantee. We provide a theoretical foundation for this methodology and describe conditions under which robustness can be achieved given a weak training oracle. We show empirically that adversarially-robust multiclass boosting not only outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, it does so at a fraction of the training time.

Training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with a strict Lipschitz constraint under the l_{2} norm is useful for provable adversarial robustness, interpretable gradients and stable training. While 1-Lipschitz CNNs can be designed by enforcing a 1- Lipschitz constraint on each layer, training such networks requires each layer to have an orthogonal Jacobian matrix (for all inputs) to prevent gradients from vanishing during backpropagation. A layer with this property is said to be Gradient Norm Preserving (GNP). To construct expressive GNP activation functions, we first prove that the Jacobian of any GNP piecewise linear function is only allowed to change via Householder transformations for the function to be continuous. Building on this result, we introduce a class of nonlinear GNP activations with learnable Householder transformations called Householder activations. A householder activation parameterized by the vector $mathbf{v}$ outputs $(mathbf{I} - 2mathbf{v}mathbf{v}^{T})mathbf{z}$ for its input $mathbf{z}$ if $mathbf{v}^{T}mathbf{z} leq 0$; otherwise it outputs $mathbf{z}$. Existing GNP activations such as $mathrm{MaxMin}$ can be viewed as special cases of $mathrm{HH}$ activations for certain settings of these transformations. Thus, networks with $mathrm{HH}$ activations have higher expressive power than those with $mathrm{MaxMin}$ activations. Although networks with $mathrm{HH}$ activations have nontrivial provable robustness against adversarial attacks, we further boost their robustness by (i) introducing a certificate regularization and (ii) relaxing orthogonalization of the last layer of the network. Our experiments on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 show that our regularized networks with $mathrm{HH}$ activations lead to significant improvements in both the standard and provable robust accuracy over the prior works (gain of 3.65% and 4.46% on CIFAR-100 respectively).

Deep model compression has been extensively studied, and state-of-the-art methods can now achieve high compression ratios with minimal accuracy loss. This paper studies model compression through a different lens: could we compress models without hurt ing their robustness to adversarial attacks, in addition to maintaining accuracy? Previous literature suggested that the goals of robustness and compactness might sometimes contradict. We propose a novel Adversarially Trained Model Compression (ATMC) framework. ATMC constructs a unified constrained optimization formulation, where existing compression means (pruning, factorization, quantization) are all integrated into the constraints. An efficient algorithm is then developed. An extensive group of experiments are presented, demonstrating that ATMC obtains remarkably more favorable trade-off among model size, accuracy and robustness, over currently available alternatives in various settings. The codes are publicly available at: https://github.com/shupenggui/ATMC.
Recent studies have shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, including evasion and backdoor (poisoning) attacks. On the defense side, there have been intensive interests in both empirical and provable robus tness against evasion attacks; however, provable robustness against backdoor attacks remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we focus on certifying robustness against backdoor attacks. To this end, we first provide a unified framework for robustness certification and show that it leads to a tight robustness condition for backdoor attacks. We then propose the first robust training process, RAB, to smooth the trained model and certify its robustness against backdoor attacks. Moreover, we evaluate the certified robustness of a family of smoothed models which are trained in a differentially private fashion, and show that they achieve better certified robustness bounds. In addition, we theoretically show that it is possible to train the robust smoothed models efficiently for simple models such as K-nearest neighbor classifiers, and we propose an exact smooth-training algorithm which eliminates the need to sample from a noise distribution. Empirically, we conduct comprehensive experiments for different machine learning (ML) models such as DNNs, differentially private DNNs, and K-NN models on MNIST, CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets (focusing on binary classifiers), and provide the first benchmark for certified robustness against backdoor attacks. In addition, we evaluate K-NN models on a spambase tabular dataset to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed exact algorithm. Both the theoretical analysis and the comprehensive benchmark on diverse ML models and datasets shed lights on further robust learning strategies against training time attacks or other general adversarial attacks.

Discrete adversarial attacks are symbolic perturbations to a language input that preserve the output label but lead to a prediction error. While such attacks have been extensively explored for the purpose of evaluating model robustness, their utility for improving robustness has been limited to offline augmentation only, i.e., given a trained model, attacks are used to generate perturbed (adversarial) examples, and the model is re-trained exactly once. In this work, we address this gap and leverage discrete attacks for online augmentation, where adversarial examples are generated at every step, adapting to the changing nature of the model. We also consider efficient attacks based on random sampling, that unlike prior work are not based on expensive search-based procedures. As a second contribution, we provide a general formulation for multiple search-based attacks from past work, and propose a new attack based on best-first search. Surprisingly, we find that random sampling leads to impressive gains in robustness, outperforming the commonly-used offline augmentation, while leading to a speedup at training time of ~10x. Furthermore, online augmentation with search-based attacks justifies the higher training cost, significantly improving robustness on three datasets. Last, we show that our proposed algorithm substantially improves robustness compared to prior methods.
We analyze the properties of adversarial training for learning adversarially robust halfspaces in the presence of agnostic label noise. Denoting $mathsf{OPT}_{p,r}$ as the best robust classification error achieved by a halfspace that is robust to per turbations of $ell_{p}$ balls of radius $r$, we show that adversarial training on the standard binary cross-entropy loss yields adversarially robust halfspaces up to (robust) classification error $tilde O(sqrt{mathsf{OPT}_{2,r}})$ for $p=2$, and $tilde O(d^{1/4} sqrt{mathsf{OPT}_{infty, r}} + d^{1/2} mathsf{OPT}_{infty,r})$ when $p=infty$. Our results hold for distributions satisfying anti-concentration properties enjoyed by log-concave isotropic distributions among others. We additionally show that if one instead uses a nonconvex sigmoidal loss, adversarial training yields halfspaces with an improved robust classification error of $O(mathsf{OPT}_{2,r})$ for $p=2$, and $O(d^{1/4}mathsf{OPT}_{infty, r})$ when $p=infty$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to show that adversarial training provably yields robust classifiers in the presence of noise.
