Opportunities and Challenges in Deep Learning Adversarial Robustness: A Survey
share
As we seek to deploy machine learning models beyond virtual and controlled domains, it is critical to analyze not only the accuracy or the fact that it works most of the time, but if such a model is truly robust and reliable. This paper studies strategies to implement adversary robustly trained algorithms towards guaranteeing safety in machine learning algorithms. We provide a taxonomy to classify adversarial attacks and defenses and formulate for the Robust Optimization problem in a min-max setting, and divide it into 3 subcategories, namely: Adversarial (re)Training, Regularization Approach, and Certified Defenses. We survey the most recent and important results in adversarial example generation and defense mechanisms with adversarial (re)Training as their main defense against perturbations or add regularization terms which change the behavior of the gradient, making it harder for attackers to achieve their objective. Alternatively, we've surveyed methods which formally derive certificates of robustness by exactly solving the optimization problem or by approximations using upper or lower bounds. In addition, we discussed the challenges faced by most of the recent algorithms presenting future research perspectives.
