Improving the Convergence Rate of Ray Search Optimization for Query-Efficient Hard-Label Attacks

Xinjie Xu, Shuyu Cheng, Dongwei Xu +2

In hard-label black-box adversarial attacks, where only the top-1 predicted label is accessible, the prohibitive query complexity poses a major obstacle to practical deployment. In…

Boosting Ray Search Procedure of Hard-label Attacks with Transfer-based Priors

Chen Ma, Xinjie Xu, Shuyu Cheng +1

One of the most practical and challenging types of black-box adversarial attacks is the hard-label attack, where only the top-1 predicted label is available. One effective approach…

Switching Transferable Gradient Directions for Query-Efficient Black-Box Adversarial Attacks

Chen Ma, Shuyu Cheng, Li Chen +2

We propose a simple and highly query-efficient black-box adversarial attack named SWITCH, which has a state-of-the-art performance in the score-based setting. SWITCH features a hig…

A Wasserstein Minimum Velocity Approach to Learning Unnormalized Models

Ziyu Wang, Shuyu Cheng, Yueru Li +2

Score matching provides an effective approach to learning flexible unnormalized models, but its scalability is limited by the need to evaluate a second-order derivative. In this pa…

Improving Black-box Adversarial Attacks with a Transfer-based Prior

Shuyu Cheng, Yinpeng Dong, Tianyu Pang +2

We consider the black-box adversarial setting, where the adversary has to generate adversarial perturbations without access to the target models to compute gradients. Previous meth…
