Lecuyer et al. propose a defense against adversarial examples based on differential privacy. Their main insight is that a differential private algorithm is also robust to slight perturbations. In practice, this amounts to injecting noise in some layer (or on the image directly) and using Monte Carlo estimation for computing the expected prediction. The approach is compared to adversarial training against the Carlini+Wagner attack.
