New theory analyzes data poisoning in continual learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper introduces a theoretical framework to analyze data poisoning attacks and defenses in continual learning (CL). The research frames the adversary-defender interaction as an online zero-sum game, establishing that no defense can succeed if an adversary poisons a linear proportion of tasks with unbounded noise or pattern shifts in regularization-based CL. The paper also proposes defenses for scenarios with infrequent attacks or bounded noise, including a task-to-task verification mechanism and a robust defense that minimizes sensitivity to poisoned features.

    Theory of Continual Learning Against Data Poisoning Attacks

    Continual learning (CL), where a model is trained on a sequence of data tasks, is increasingly being adopted across key fields such as large language models and image recognition, yet it remains highly vulnerable to data poisoning that triggers learning divergence or severe exces…
