Data poisoning attacks evaluated on supervised learning models

A new research paper published on arXiv evaluates the effectiveness of two data poisoning attacks, label flipping and backdoor poisoning, on common supervised learning models. The study found that label flipping significantly degraded the performance of Logistic Regression and Linear SVM models, while Random Forest remained more stable. Backdoor poisoning, however, proved highly effective, achieving near-perfect attack success rates across all tested models and datasets while maintaining high clean-test accuracy, highlighting the stealthy nature of such targeted attacks. AI

IMPACT Highlights the stealth and effectiveness of backdoor poisoning attacks, underscoring the need for advanced security evaluations beyond standard metrics for AI models.

    Empirical Evaluation of Data Poisoning Attacks in Supervised Learning

    arXiv:2609.10952v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data poisoning corrupts training data to degrade a model or to plant attacker-controlled behavior. This study evaluates two representative training-time attacks, label flipping and backdoor poisoning, on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST wi…
