CERTIFIED VS. EMPIRICAL ADVERSARIAL ROBUSTNESS VIA HYBRID CONVOLUTIONS WITH ATTENTION STOCHASTICITY

We introduce Hybrid Convolutions with Attention Stochasticity (HyCAS), an adversarial defense that narrows the long-standing gap between provable robustness under ℓ2 certificates and empirical robustness against strong ℓ∞ attacks, while preserving strong generalization across diverse imaging benchma…
