Artificial Immune System of Secure Face Recognition Against Adversarial Attacks (Abstract Reprint)

AAAI 2026technical

Deep learning-based face recognition models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In contrast to general noises, the presence of imperceptible adversarial noises can lead to catastrophic errors in deep face recognition models. The primary difference between adversarial noise and general noise lies
