Talk on Confidence-Calibrated Adversarial Training at BCAI and Tübingen AI Center

Recently, I had the opportunity to present my work on confidence-calibrated adversarial training at the Bosch Center for Artifical Intelligence and the University of Tübingen, specifically, the newly formed Tübingen AI Center. As part of the talk, I outlined the motivation and strengths of confidence-calibrated adversarial training compared to standard adversarial training: robustness against previously unseen attacks and improved accuracy. I also touched on the difficulties faced during robustness evaluation. This article provides the corresponding slides and gives a short overview of the talk.

Updated ArXiv Pre-Print “Confidence-Calibrated Adversarial Training”

Adversarial training yields robust models against a specific threat model. However, robustness does not generalize to larger perturbations or threat models not seen during training. Confidence-calibrated adversarial training tackles this problem by biasing the network towards low-confidence predictions on adversarial examples. Through rejecting low-confidence (adversarial) examples, robustness generalizes to various threat models, including L2, L1 and L0 while training only on L∞ adversarial examples. This article gives a short abstract, discusses relevant updates to the previous version and includes paper and appendix.

On-Manifold Adversarial Examples

Adversarial examples, imperceptibly perturbed examples causing mis-classification, are commonly assumed to lie off the underlying manifold of the data — the so-called manifold assumption. In this article, following my recent CVPR’19 paper, I demonstrate that adversarial examples can also be found on the data manifold, both on a synthetic dataset as well as on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST.
