Researchers have developed a new training-time defense method called Trapping and Removing (TR) to combat backdoor attacks in deep neural networks. This technique introduces a lightweight shortcut branch, acting as a "honeypot," to absorb malicious knowledge injected through data poisoning. After training, the backdoor can be eliminated by discarding this shortcut, preserving the network's benign performance. The method also incorporates knowledge decoupling and automatic shortcut generation to enhance its effectiveness across various model architectures and datasets. AI
