CLIPure enhances zero-shot image classification robustness in latent space

Researchers have developed CLIPure, a novel method for enhancing adversarial robustness in zero-shot image classification. This approach operates within the latent space of CLIP, a vision-language model, by purifying adversarial perturbations. CLIPure introduces two variants: CLIPure-Diff, which uses a DiffusionPrior module, and CLIPure-Cos, which relies on cosine similarity. These methods aim to improve defense efficiency without requiring generative models, showing significant gains in robustness across various datasets. AI

IMPACT Enhances adversarial robustness in zero-shot image classification, potentially improving the reliability of AI systems in real-world, unpredictable environments.

    CLIPure: Purification in Latent Space via CLIP for Adversarially Robust Zero-Shot Classification

    arXiv:2502.18176v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we aim to build an adversarially robust zero-shot image classifier. We ground our work on CLIP, a vision-language pre-trained encoder model that can perform zero-shot classification by matching an image with…
