Robust Pre-Processing: A Robust Defense Method Against Adversary Attack
share
Deep learning algorithms and networks are vulnerable to perturbed inputs which are known as the adversarial attack. Many defense methodologies have been investigated to defend such adversarial attack. In this work, we propose a novel methodology to defend the existing powerful attack model. Such attack models have achieved record success against MNIST dataset to force it to miss-classify all of its inputs. Whereas Our proposed defense method robust pre-processing achieves the best accuracy among the current state of the art defenses. It consists of Tanh (hyperbolic tangent) function, smoothing and batch normalization to process the input data which will make it more robust over the adversarial attack. robust pre-processing improves the white box attack accuracy of MNIST from 94.3 others defenses completely fail, robust pre-processing remains one of the strongest ever reported. Another strength of our defense is that it eliminates the need for adversarial training as it can significantly increase the MNIST accuracy without adversarial training as well. This makes it a more generalized defense method with almost half training overhead and much-improved accuracy. robust pre-processing can also increase the inference accuracy in the face of the powerful attack on CIFAR-10 and SVHN data set as well without much sacrificing clean data accuracy.
