Adversarial training (AT) based on minimax optimization is a popular learning style that enhances the models adversarial robustness. Noisy labels (NL) commonly undermine the learning and hurt the models performance. Interestingly, both research directions hardly crossover and hit sparks. In this paper, we raise an intriguing question -- Does NL always hurt AT? Firstly, we find that NL injection in inner maximization for generating adversarial data augments natural data implicitly, which benefits ATs generalization. Secondly, we find NL injection in outer minimization for the learning serves as regularization that alleviates robust overfitting, which benefits ATs robustness. To enhance ATs adversarial robustness, we propose NoiLIn that gradually increases underline{Noi}sy underline{L}abels underline{In}jection over the ATs training process. Empirically, NoiLIn answers the previous question negatively -- the adversarial robustness can be indeed enhanced by NL injection. Philosophically, we provide a new perspective of the learning with NL: NL should not always be deemed detrimental, and even in the absence of NL in the training set, we may consider injecting it deliberately.

While adversarial training can improve robust accuracy (against an adversary), it sometimes hurts standard accuracy (when there is no adversary). Previous work has studied this tradeoff between standard and robust accuracy, but only in the setting wh
ere no predictor performs well on both objectives in the infinite data limit. In this paper, we show that even when the optimal predictor with infinite data performs well on both objectives, a tradeoff can still manifest itself with finite data. Furthermore, since our construction is based on a convex learning problem, we rule out optimization concerns, thus laying bare a fundamental tension between robustness and generalization. Finally, we show that robust self-training mostly eliminates this tradeoff by leveraging unlabeled data.
Noisy labels (NL) and adversarial examples both undermine trained models, but interestingly they have hitherto been studied independently. A recent adversarial training (AT) study showed that the number of projected gradient descent (PGD) steps to su
ccessfully attack a point (i.e., find an adversarial example in its proximity) is an effective measure of the robustness of this point. Given that natural data are clean, this measure reveals an intrinsic geometric property -- how far a point is from its class boundary. Based on this breakthrough, in this paper, we figure out how AT would interact with NL. Firstly, we find if a point is too close to its noisy-class boundary (e.g., one step is enough to attack it), this point is likely to be mislabeled, which suggests to adopt the number of PGD steps as a new criterion for sample selection for correcting NL. Secondly, we confirm AT with strong smoothing effects suffers less from NL (without NL corrections) than standard training (ST), which suggests AT itself is an NL correction. Hence, AT with NL is helpful for improving even the natural accuracy, which again illustrates the superiority of AT as a general-purpose robust learning criterion.
Since the Lipschitz properties of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely considered to be related to adversarial robustness, we theoretically characterize the $ell_1$ norm and $ell_infty$ norm of 2D multi-channel convolutional layers and pro
vide efficient methods to compute the exact $ell_1$ norm and $ell_infty$ norm. Based on our theorem, we propose a novel regularization method termed norm decay, which can effectively reduce the norms of convolutional layers and fully-connected layers. Experiments show that norm-regularization methods, including norm decay, weight decay, and singular value clipping, can improve generalization of CNNs. However, they can slightly hurt adversarial robustness. Observing this unexpected phenomenon, we compute the norms of layers in the CNNs trained with three different adversarial training frameworks and surprisingly find that adversarially robust CNNs have comparable or even larger layer norms than their non-adversarially robust counterparts. Furthermore, we prove that under a mild assumption, adversarially robust classifiers can be achieved using neural networks, and an adversarially robust neural network can have an arbitrarily large Lipschitz constant. For this reason, enforcing small norms on CNN layers may be neither necessary nor effective in achieving adversarial robustness. The code is available at https://github.com/youweiliang/norm_robustness.
Todays available datasets in the wild, e.g., from social media and open platforms, present tremendous opportunities and challenges for deep learning, as there is a significant portion of tagged images, but often with noisy, i.e. erroneous, labels. Re
cent studies improve the robustness of deep models against noisy labels without the knowledge of true labels. In this paper, we advocate to derive a stronger classifier which proactively makes use of the noisy labels in addition to the original images - turning noisy labels into learning features. To such an end, we propose a novel framework, ExpertNet, composed of Amateur and Expert, which iteratively learn from each other. Amateur is a regular image classifier trained by the feedback of Expert, which imitates how human experts would correct the predicted labels from Amateur using the noise pattern learnt from the knowledge of both the noisy and ground truth labels. The trained Amateur and Expert proactively leverage the images and their noisy labels to infer image classes. Our empirical evaluations on noi
Modern neural networks have the capacity to overfit noisy labels frequently found in real-world datasets. Although great progress has been made, existing techniques are limited in providing theoretical guarantees for the performance of the neural net
works trained with noisy labels. Here we propose a novel approach with strong theoretical guarantees for robust training of deep networks trained with noisy labels. The key idea behind our method is to select weighted subsets (coresets) of clean data points that provide an approximately low-rank Jacobian matrix. We then prove that gradient descent applied to the subsets do not overfit the noisy labels. Our extensive experiments corroborate our theory and demonstrate that deep networks trained on our subsets achieve a significantly superior performance compared to state-of-the art, e.g., 6% increase in accuracy on CIFAR-10 with 80% noisy labels, and 7% increase in accuracy on mini Webvision.
