Generating Potent Poisons and Backdoors from Scratch with Guided Diffusion
Hossein Souri, Arpit Bansal, Hamid Kazemi +7
Modern neural networks are often trained on massive datasets that are web scraped with minimal human inspection. As a result of this insecure curation pipeline, an adversary can po…
Thinking Two Moves Ahead: Anticipating Other Users Improves Backdoor Attacks in Federated Learning
Yuxin Wen, Jonas Geiping, Liam Fowl +4
Federated learning is particularly susceptible to model poisoning and backdoor attacks because individual users have direct control over the training data and model updates. At the…
Pre-Train Your Loss: Easy Bayesian Transfer Learning with Informative Priors
Ravid Shwartz-Ziv, Micah Goldblum, Hossein Souri +4
Deep learning is increasingly moving towards a transfer learning paradigm whereby large foundation models are fine-tuned on downstream tasks, starting from an initialization learne…
Mutual Adversarial Training: Learning together is better than going alone
Jiang Liu, Chun Pong Lau, Hossein Souri +2
Recent studies have shown that robustness to adversarial attacks can be transferred across networks. In other words, we can make a weak model more robust with the help of a strong…
Identification of Attack-Specific Signatures in Adversarial Examples
Hossein Souri, Pirazh Khorramshahi, Chun Pong Lau +2
The adversarial attack literature contains a myriad of algorithms for crafting perturbations which yield pathological behavior in neural networks. In many cases, multiple algorithm…
Sleeper Agent: Scalable Hidden Trigger Backdoors for Neural Networks Trained from Scratch
Hossein Souri, Liam Fowl, Rama Chellappa +2
As the curation of data for machine learning becomes increasingly automated, dataset tampering is a mounting threat. Backdoor attackers tamper with training data to embed a vulnera…
