New algorithm MiniFool creates physics-based adversarial attacks for neural networks

Researchers have developed MiniFool, a novel algorithm designed to create physics-inspired adversarial attacks for neural networks. This method is particularly useful for classification tasks in particle and astroparticle physics, and has been demonstrated on datasets including MNIST and data from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. MiniFool works by minimizing a cost function that balances a chi-squared test statistic with the deviation from a target score, allowing for the quantification of network robustness against experimental uncertainties. AI
