Researchers have introduced SemPurify, a novel framework designed to defend against backdoor attacks in machine learning models. Unlike existing methods that can degrade image quality and semantic information through transformations, SemPurify utilizes a text-to-image model guided by multi-level semantic embeddings and image tags. This approach aims to restore transformed samples while preserving crucial visual and semantic details, thereby maintaining utility for downstream tasks. Experiments across various backdoor scenarios, including classification, CLIP-style encoders, and generative models, show SemPurify's effectiveness in removing backdoors while retaining semantic integrity.
