New method enhances CLIP's reliability against adversarial attacks

Researchers have developed a new method to improve the reliability of CLIP, a model used for zero-shot image classification. The proposed technique addresses the issue where adversarial attacks not only reduce accuracy but also cause the model to become over-confident by suppressing uncertainty. By treating CLIP's outputs as parameters of a Dirichlet distribution, the method aligns the model's confidence with input difficulty, thereby restoring calibrated uncertainty and enhancing adversarial robustness while maintaining clean accuracy.

    Calibrating Uncertainty for Zero-Shot Adversarial CLIP

    arXiv:2512.12997v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: CLIP delivers strong zero-shot classification but remains highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Prior adversarial fine-tuning work primarily matches predicted logits between clean and adversarial examples, which overlo…
