New research quantifies tradeoff between classifier robustness and accuracy

This paper rigorously demonstrates an optimal quantitative estimate for adversarial classifiers in non-parametric binary classification. It proves that robust classifiers, when controlling geometric accuracy measured by Hausdorff distance to the Bayes classifier, sacrifice at most $O(\sqrt{\varepsilon})$ or $O(\varepsilon)$ in accuracy, depending on the Bayes classifier's regularity. The findings apply to adversaries defined by any norm in Euclidean space and are valid in both infinite and finite data settings, contrasting with prior work that suggested an incompatibility between robustness and accuracy in low-complexity hypothesis classes.
