Kernel machines show greater native robustness than neural networks against adversarial attacks

A new research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the adversarial robustness of kernel machines. The study empirically investigates the performance of various kernel-based models, including random feature classifiers and Recursive Feature Machines, against both white-box and black-box evasion attacks. The findings suggest that kernel machines exhibit greater native robustness compared to neural networks, with their performance degrading more gradually when subjected to adversarial perturbations. AI

IMPACT Suggests kernel machines may offer a more robust alternative to neural networks in scenarios vulnerable to adversarial attacks.

    Adversarial Robustness of Kernel Machines: A Comprehensive Analysis

    arXiv:2611.07474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel machines are an important class of models in machine learning. However, the question of how robust modern kernel machines are to adversarial examples has not been studied comprehensively. In this paper, we provide a thoroug…
