Researchers have developed DEFUSE, a novel framework designed to detect and defend against backdoor attacks targeting self-supervised learning (SSL) encoders. Unlike previous methods that were limited to specific encoder types or required extensive prior knowledge, DEFUSE offers a generalizable approach. It leverages Bayesian posterior inference and a conditional diffusion generative model to assess the likelihood of image reconstructions from encoder representations, effectively identifying backdoored models by their semantic inconsistencies.
