Abstract
The vulnerability of Deep Neural Networks to Adversarial Attacks has fuelled
research towards building robust models. While most Adversarial Training
algorithms aim at defending attacks constrained within low magnitude Lp norm
bounds, real-world adversaries are not limited by such constraints. In this
work, we aim to achieve adversarial robustness within larger bounds, against
perturbations that may be perceptible, but do not change human (or Oracle)
prediction. The presence of images that flip Oracle predictions and those that
do not makes this a challenging setting for adversarial robustness. We discuss
the ideal goals of an adversarial defense algorithm beyond perceptual limits,
and further highlight the shortcomings of naively extending existing training
algorithms to higher perturbation bounds. In order to overcome these
shortcomings, we propose a novel defense, Oracle-Aligned Adversarial Training
(OA-AT), to align the predictions of the network with that of an Oracle during
adversarial training. The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art
performance at large epsilon bounds (such as an L-inf bound of 16/255 on
CIFAR-10) while outperforming existing defenses (AWP, TRADES, PGD-AT) at
standard bounds (8/255) as well.
