On Adversarial Training without Perturbing all Examples

ICLR 2024poster

Adversarial training is the de-facto standard for improving robustness against adversarial examples. This usually involves a multi-step adversarial attack applied on each example during training. In this paper, we explore only constructing adversarial examples (AE) on a subset of the training exampl…

Improving Robustness of Vision Transformers by Reducing Sensitivity To Patch Corruptions

CVPR 2023poster

Despite their success, vision transformers still remain vulnerable to image corruptions, such as noise or blur. Indeed, we find that the vulnerability mainly stems from the unstable self-attention mechanism, which is inherently built upon patch-based inputs and often becomes overly sensitive to the…

Learning Optimal Conformal Classifiers

ICLR 2022spotlight

Modern deep learning based classifiers show very high accuracy on test data but this does not provide sufficient guarantees for safe deployment, especially in high-stake AI applications such as medical diagnosis. Usually, predictions are obtained without a reliable uncertainty estimate or a formal g…

Confidence-Calibrated Adversarial Training: Generalizing to Unseen Attacks

ICML 2020poster

Adversarial training yields robust models against a specific threat model, e.g., $L_\infty$ adversarial examples. Typically robustness does not generalize to previously unseen threat models, e.g., other $L_p$ norms, or larger perturbations. Our confidence-calibrated adversarial training (CCAT) tackl…
