We consider the problem of learning linear classifiers when both features and labels are binary. In addition, the features are noisy, i.e., they could be flipped with an unknown probability. In Sy-De attribute noise model, where all features could be noisy together with same probability, we show that $0$-$1$ loss ($l_{0-1}$) need not be robust but a popular surrogate, squared loss ($l_{sq}$) is. In Asy-In attribute noise model, we prove that $l_{0-1}$ is robust for any distribution over 2 dimensional feature space. However, due to computational intractability of $l_{0-1}$, we resort to $l_{sq}$ and observe that it need not be Asy-In noise robust. Our empirical results support Sy-De robustness of squared loss for low to moderate noise rates.

The 01 loss is robust to outliers and tolerant to noisy data compared to convex loss functions. We conjecture that the 01 loss may also be more robust to adversarial attacks. To study this empirically we have developed a stochastic coordinate descent algorithm for a linear 01 loss classifier and a single hidden layer 01 loss neural network. Due to the absence of the gradient we iteratively update coordinates on random subsets of the data for fixed epochs. We show our algorithms to be fast and comparable in accuracy to the linear support vector machine and logistic loss single hidden layer network for binary classification on several image benchmarks, thus establishing that our method is on-par in test accuracy with convex losses. We then subject them to accurately trained substitute model black box attacks on the same image benchmarks and find them to be more robust than convex counterparts. On CIFAR10 binary classification task between classes 0 and 1 with adversarial perturbation of 0.0625 we see that the MLP01 network loses 27% in accuracy whereas the MLP-logistic counterpart loses 83%. Similarly on STL10 and ImageNet binary classification between classes 0 and 1 the MLP01 network loses 21% and 20% while MLP-logistic loses 67% and 45% respectively. On MNIST that is a well-separable dataset we find MLP01 comparable to MLP-logistic and show under simulation how and why our 01 loss solver is less robust there. We then propose adversarial training for our linear 01 loss solver that significantly improves its robustness on MNIST and all other datasets and retains clean test accuracy. Finally we show practical applications of our method to deter traffic sign and facial recognition adversarial attacks. We discuss attacks with 01 loss, substitute model accuracy, and several future avenues like multiclass, 01 loss convolutions, and further adversarial training.
Classical approaches for one-class problems such as one-class SVM and isolation forest require careful feature engineering when applied to structured domains like images. State-of-the-art methods aim to leverage deep learning to learn appropriate fea tures via two main approaches. The first approach based on predicting transformations (Golan & El-Yaniv, 2018; Hendrycks et al., 2019a) while successful in some domains, crucially depends on an appropriate domain-specific set of transformations that are hard to obtain in general. The second approach of minimizing a classical one-class loss on the learned final layer representations, e.g., DeepSVDD (Ruff et al., 2018) suffers from the fundamental drawback of representation collapse. In this work, we propose Deep Robust One-Class Classification (DROCC) that is both applicable to most standard domains without requiring any side-information and robust to representation collapse. DROCC is based on the assumption that the points from the class of interest lie on a well-sampled, locally linear low dimensional manifold. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that DROCC is highly effective in two different one-class problem settings and on a range of real-world datasets across different domains: tabular data, images (CIFAR and ImageNet), audio, and time-series, offering up to 20% increase in accuracy over the state-of-the-art in anomaly detection.

The real-world data is often susceptible to label noise, which might constrict the effectiveness of the existing state of the art algorithms for ordinal regression. Existing works on ordinal regression do not take label noise into account. We propose a theoretically grounded approach for class conditional label noise in ordinal regression problems. We present a deep learning implementation of two commonly used loss functions for ordinal regression that is both - 1) robust to label noise, and 2) rank consistent for a good ranking rule. We verify these properties of the algorithm empirically and show robustness to label noise on real data and rank consistency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first approach for robust ordinal regression models.
Investigation of machine learning algorithms robust to changes between the training and test distributions is an active area of research. In this paper we explore a special type of dataset shift which we call class-dependent domain shift. It is chara cterized by the following features: the input data causally depends on the label, the shift in the data is fully explained by a known variable, the variable which controls the shift can depend on the label, there is no shift in the label distribution. We define a simple optimization problem with an information theoretic constraint and attempt to solve it with neural networks. Experiments on a toy dataset demonstrate the proposed method is able to learn robust classifiers which generalize well to unseen domains.
We introduce and study the model of list learning with attribute noise. Learning with attribute noise was introduced by Shackelford and Volper (COLT 1988) as a variant of PAC learning, in which the algorithm has access to noisy examples and uncorrupt ed labels, and the goal is to recover an accurate hypothesis. Sloan (COLT 1988) and Goldman and Sloan (Algorithmica 1995) discovered information-theoretic limits to learning in this model, which have impeded further progress. In this article we extend the model to that of list learning, drawing inspiration from the list-decoding model in coding theory, and its recent variant studied in the context of learning. On the positive side, we show that sparse conjunctions can be efficiently list learned under some assumptions on the underlying ground-truth distribution. On the negative side, our results show that even in the list-learning model, efficient learning of parities and majorities is not possible regardless of the representation used.
