Reinforcement Learning Inspired Black-box Adversarial Attacks for Computer Vision

The paper introduces RIBA, a reinforcement‑learning inspired black‑box adversarial attack that generates perturbations for neural networks with fewer queries than existing methods. RIBA achieves a 25.4% reduction in median queries on ResNet‑18/Cifar10 and a 22.5% reduction on Vit‑B/16/ImageNet, while matching white‑box attack performance on an adversarially trained model.

Fast Preemptive Robustification: High-Frequency Response Anti-Aligns Shared Vulnerability

The paper introduces Fast Preemptive Robustification (FPR), a lightweight defense that enhances the robustness of deep neural networks against transferable adversarial attacks. By sharpening Laplacian responses through a single 3×3 channel‑wise convolution, FPR eliminates the need for surrogate models, iterative optimization, or specialized training. Experiments show that FPR lowers untargeted attack success rates by 12.7% and reduces targeted attack success from 10.7% to 4.1%.

A New Type of Adversarial Examples

The paper introduces a new class of adversarial examples that are markedly different from original inputs yet produce the same model output. It presents algorithms such as NI-FGSM, NI-FGM, and their momentum variants (NMI-FGSM, NMI-FGM) to generate these examples. The authors demonstrate that these adversarial examples are not confined to the vicinity of training data but are spread throughout the sample space.
