Researchers have introduced ExGrad, a novel method for adversarial training that aims to improve model robustness by explicitly subtracting clean-gradient components. This technique constructs gradients from clean inputs, adversarial inputs, and adversarial-weight-perturbed inputs, then uses these to solve a problem that selects coefficients to optimize margin responses. Experiments on datasets like CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet-100 demonstrate that ExGrad can enhance both clean and adversarial accuracy over existing methods like AWP and PGD-AT, with performance varying based on an adjustable 'affine radius' parameter.
