Robust Fine-Tuning from Non-Robust Pretrained Models: Mitigating Suboptimal Transfer With Epsilon-Scheduling

ICLR 2026poster

Fine-tuning pretrained models is a standard and effective workflow in modern machine learning. However, robust fine-tuning (RFT), which aims to simultaneously achieve adaptation to a downstream task and robustness to adversarial examples, remains challenging. Despite the abundance of non-robust pret…

A Layer Selection Approach to Test Time Adaptation

AAAI 2025technical

Test Time Adaptation (TTA) addresses the problem of distribution shift by adapting a pretrained model to a new domain during inference. When faced with challenging shifts, most methods collapse and perform worse than the original pretrained model. In this paper, we find that not all layers are equal…

Detecting Brittle Decisions for Free: Leveraging Margin Consistency in Deep Robust Classifiers

NeurIPS 2024poster

Despite extensive research on adversarial training strategies to improve robustness, the decisions of even the most robust deep learning models can still be quite sensitive to imperceptible perturbations, creating serious risks when deploying them for high-stakes real-world applications. While detec…
