New Algorithm Boosts Adversarial Robustness in Learning Models

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that significantly improves the ability to learn predictors robust to adversarial examples. This method achieves linear sample complexity in the VC dimension, an exponential improvement over previous bounds. The algorithm combines bootstrap aggregation (bagging) with robust empirical risk minimization (RERM), computing RERMs on multiple bootstrap samples and outputting their majority vote. A complementary lower bound indicates this approach is necessary for learning in this model. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more resilient AI systems capable of withstanding adversarial attacks.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains two identical academic papers detailing a new algorithm for machine learning.

    Bagging Robustly Learns VC Classes with Linear Sample Complexity

    We revisit the problem of learning predictors robust to adversarial examples at test-time. We prove that VC classes are adversarially robustly learnable with sample complexity linear in the VC dimension $d$, providing an exponential improvement over the previous upper bound of Mo…
