Adversarial Machine Learning: A Systematic Survey of Backdoor Attack, Weight Attack and Adversarial Example
share
Adversarial machine learning (AML) studies the adversarial phenomenon of machine learning, which may make inconsistent or unexpected predictions with humans. Some paradigms have been recently developed to explore this adversarial phenomenon occurring at different stages of a machine learning system, such as training-time adversarial attack (i.e., backdoor attack), deployment-time adversarial attack (i.e., weight attack), and inference-time adversarial attack (i.e., adversarial example). However, although these paradigms share a common goal, their developments are almost independent, and there is still no big picture of AML. In this work, we aim to provide a unified perspective to the AML community to systematically review the overall progress of this field. We firstly provide a general definition about AML, and then propose a unified mathematical framework to covering existing attack paradigms. According to the proposed unified framework, we can not only clearly figure out the connections and differences among these paradigms, but also systematically categorize and review existing works in each paradigm.
