A Sublinear Adversarial Training Algorithm
share
Adversarial training is a widely used strategy for making neural networks resistant to adversarial perturbations. For a neural network of width m, n input training data in d dimension, it takes Ω(mnd) time cost per training iteration for the forward and backward computation. In this paper we analyze the convergence guarantee of adversarial training procedure on a two-layer neural network with shifted ReLU activation, and shows that only o(m) neurons will be activated for each input data per iteration. Furthermore, we develop an algorithm for adversarial training with time cost o(m n d) per iteration by applying half-space reporting data structure.
