New $l^p$ norm solution tackles catastrophic overfitting in adversarial training

Researchers have developed a new method to combat catastrophic overfitting in adversarial training, a common issue where models become robust to single-step attacks but fail against more complex ones. The proposed solution focuses on controlling the $l^p$ training norm, drawing from the observation that the $l^2$ norm is less prone to this problem than the $l^{\infty}$ norm. By analyzing gradient concentration using participation ratio and entropy measures, an adaptive $l^p$-FGSM attack was created that dynamically adjusts the training norm. This approach reportedly achieves competitive robustness without needing extra regularization or noise injection. AI
