Pruning, adversarial training, and hardware faults interact to affect DNN reliability

A new research paper investigates the combined impact of model pruning, adversarial training, and hardware faults on the reliability of deep neural networks. The study found that while adversarial training enhances robustness against input perturbations, it also increases sensitivity to hardware-induced weight faults. Contrary to expectations, pruning did not significantly degrade fault tolerance or adversarial robustness. The findings underscore the importance of considering both adversarial robustness and hardware reliability concurrently when deploying models on resource-constrained devices. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for joint consideration of adversarial robustness and hardware reliability in model deployment.
