ZeroPur method offers training-free adversarial purification

Researchers have introduced ZeroPur, a novel method for adversarial purification that does not require additional training. This technique treats adversarial images as outliers from the natural image manifold and purifies them by projecting them back onto this manifold. ZeroPur operates in two steps: Guided Shift to find a shifted embedding and Adaptive Projection to create a directional vector for projection. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet-1K datasets with various classifier architectures demonstrated state-of-the-art robust performance. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new, training-free approach to adversarial purification, potentially improving model robustness without computational overhead.

    ZeroPur: Succinct Training-Free Adversarial Purification

    arXiv:2406.03143v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial purification is a kind of defense technique that can defend against various unseen adversarial attacks without modifying the victim classifier. Existing methods often depend on external generative models or cooperati…
