In recent years, researchers have extensively studied adversarial robustness in a variety of threat models, including L_0, L_1, L_2, and L_infinity-norm bounded adversarial attacks. However, attacks bounded by fractional L_p "norms" (quasi-norms defined by the L_p distance with 0<p<1) have yet to be thoroughly considered. We proactively propose a defense with several desirable properties: it provides provable (certified) robustness, scales to ImageNet, and yields deterministic (rather than high-probability) certified guarantees when applied to quantized data (e.g., images). Our technique for fractional L_p robustness constructs expressive, deep classifiers that are globally Lipschitz with respect to the L_p^p metric, for any 0<p<1. However, our method is even more general: we can construct classifiers which are globally Lipschitz with respect to any metric defined as the sum of concave functions of components. Our approach builds on a recent work by Levine and Feizi (2021), which provides a provable defense against L_1 attacks. However, we demonstrate that our proposed guarantees are highly non-vacuous, compared to the trivial solution of using (Levine and Feizi, 2021) directly and applying norm inequalities.
AISTATS is an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception in 1985, the primary goal of AISTATS has been to broaden research in these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas among them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping with this objective at AISTATS.
