Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the impact of test-time adversarial attacks on linear regression models and determine the optimal level of robustness that any model can reach while maintaining a given level of standard predictive performance (accuracy). Through quantitative estimates, we uncover fundamental tradeoffs between adversarial robustness and accuracy in different regimes. We obtain a precise characterization which distinguishes between regimes where robustness is achievable without hurting standard accuracy and regimes where a tradeoff might be unavoidable. Our findings are empirically confirmed with simple experiments that represent a variety of settings. This work applies to feature covariance matrices and attack norms of any nature, and extends beyond previous works in this area.
