Towards Fast Computation of Certified Robustness for ReLU Networks
Verifying the robustness property of a general Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU)
network is an NP-complete problem [Katz, Barrett, Dill, Julian and Kochenderfer
CAV17]. Although finding the exact minimum adversarial distortion is hard,
giving a certified lower bound of the minimum distortion is possible. Current
available methods of computing such a bound are either time-consuming or
delivering low quality bounds that are too loose to be useful. In this paper,
we exploit the special structure of ReLU networks and provide two
computationally efficient algorithms Fast-Lin and Fast-Lip that are able to
certify non-trivial lower bounds of minimum distortions, by bounding the ReLU
units with appropriate linear functions Fast-Lin, or by bounding the local
Lipschitz constant Fast-Lip. Experiments show that (1) our proposed methods
deliver bounds close to (the gap is 2-3X) exact minimum distortion found by
Reluplex in small MNIST networks while our algorithms are more than 10,000
times faster; (2) our methods deliver similar quality of bounds (the gap is
within 35% and usually around 10%; sometimes our bounds are even better) for
larger networks compared to the methods based on solving linear programming
problems but our algorithms are 33-14,000 times faster; (3) our method is
capable of solving large MNIST and CIFAR networks up to 7 layers with more than
10,000 neurons within tens of seconds on a single CPU core.
In addition, we show that, in fact, there is no polynomial time algorithm
that can approximately find the minimum adversarial distortion of a
ReLU network with a approximation ratio unless
=, where is the number of neurons in the network.Comment: Tsui-Wei Weng and Huan Zhang contributed equall
