Can't Fool Me: Adversarially Robust Transformer for Video Understanding
share
Deep neural networks have been shown to perform poorly on adversarial examples. To address this, several techniques have been proposed to increase robustness of a model for image classification tasks. However, in video understanding tasks, developing adversarially robust models is still unexplored. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap. We first show that simple extensions of image based adversarially robust models slightly improve the worst-case performance. Further, we propose a temporal attention regularization scheme in Transformer to improve the robustness of attention modules to adversarial examples. We illustrate using a large-scale video data set YouTube-8M that the final model (A-ART) achieves close to non-adversarial performance on its adversarial example set. We achieve 91 examples, whereas baseline Transformer and simple adversarial extensions achieve 72.9 robustness over the state-of-the-art.
