New antidistillation sampling protects classification models from knowledge distillation

Researchers have developed ADS-C, a novel antidistillation sampling technique designed to protect classification models from knowledge distillation attacks. Unlike previous methods, ADS-C perturbs the model's output distribution in a way that is dependent on the input and a budget of confidence margins. This approach provably preserves the top-1 prediction accuracy of the defended model while significantly degrading the performance of distilled student models on various datasets, including CIFAR-100, CIFAR-10, and Tiny-ImageNet.

IMPACT This research introduces a novel defense mechanism against knowledge distillation, potentially enhancing the security and proprietary nature of classification models.

    ADS-C: Antidistillation Sampling for Classification

    arXiv:2607.15467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge distillation enables an adversary to replicate a proprietary classifier by querying its prediction interface and training a surrogate on the returned probability vectors. Antidistillation sampling, proposed for large langu…
