Adversarial Attacks and Defenses in Machine Learning-Powered Networks: A Contemporary Survey
Adversarial attacks and defenses in machine learning and deep neural network
have been gaining significant attention due to the rapidly growing applications
of deep learning in the Internet and relevant scenarios. This survey provides a
comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in the field of adversarial
attack and defense techniques, with a focus on deep neural network-based
classification models. Specifically, we conduct a comprehensive classification
of recent adversarial attack methods and state-of-the-art adversarial defense
techniques based on attack principles, and present them in visually appealing
tables and tree diagrams. This is based on a rigorous evaluation of the
existing works, including an analysis of their strengths and limitations. We
also categorize the methods into counter-attack detection and robustness
enhancement, with a specific focus on regularization-based methods for
enhancing robustness. New avenues of attack are also explored, including
search-based, decision-based, drop-based, and physical-world attacks, and a
hierarchical classification of the latest defense methods is provided,
highlighting the challenges of balancing training costs with performance,
maintaining clean accuracy, overcoming the effect of gradient masking, and
ensuring method transferability. At last, the lessons learned and open
challenges are summarized with future research opportunities recommended.Comment: 46 pages, 21 figure
Recent Advances of Local Mechanisms in Computer Vision: A Survey and Outlook of Recent Work
Inspired by the fact that human brains can emphasize discriminative parts of
the input and suppress irrelevant ones, substantial local mechanisms have been
designed to boost the development of computer vision. They can not only focus
on target parts to learn discriminative local representations, but also process
information selectively to improve the efficiency. In terms of application
scenarios and paradigms, local mechanisms have different characteristics. In
this survey, we provide a systematic review of local mechanisms for various
computer vision tasks and approaches, including fine-grained visual
recognition, person re-identification, few-/zero-shot learning, multi-modal
learning, self-supervised learning, Vision Transformers, and so on.
Categorization of local mechanisms in each field is summarized. Then,
advantages and disadvantages for every category are analyzed deeply, leaving
room for exploration. Finally, future research directions about local
mechanisms have also been discussed that may benefit future works. To the best
our knowledge, this is the first survey about local mechanisms on computer
vision. We hope that this survey can shed light on future research in the
computer vision field
