Adversarial Ensemble Training by Jointly Learning Label Dependencies and Member Models

See the paper here.

This repository contains code for reproducing our conditional label dependency learning (CLDL) assisted ensemble training algorithm. In this code repository, we use 'LSD' to represent our CLDL based algorithm. We also include several other SOTA methods' codes for performance comparison.

Empirical ensemble robustness

• ADP Training (https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.08846)

• GAL Training (https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09981)

• DVERGE Training (https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.14720)

• TRS Training (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00671)

• LSD Training (ours)

eval folder contains:

• whitebox/blackbox.py: Test the whitebox/blackbox attack robustness of the given ensemble model.

• wbox_para_compare/bbox_para_compare.py: Test the whitebox/blackbox attack robustness with different hyperparameter settings.

• transferability.py: Evaluate the adversarial transferability among base models under various attacks.

• natural_acc.py: Test the performance of the given ensemble model on normal examples.

• surrogate.py: Generate blackbox transfer attack instances from the given surrogate ensemble models. We choose three ensembles consisting of 3, 4 and 5 base models as our surrogate models.

• pick_out_correctly_idx.py: Pick out the common test sub-dataset from entire test dataset on which all comparison ensemble models initially give correct classifications.

models folder contains:

• lcm.py: Generate label confusion vector for members of the ensemble.

Train LSD

python train/train_lsd.py [options]

Options:

• --ld_coeff: coefficient for simulated_label_distribution
• --alpha: coefficient for jsd_loss
• --beta: coefficient for coherence
• --arch: model architecture)
• --model_num: number of submodels within the ensemble)

python train/train_lsd.py --ld_coeff 4 --alpha 2 --beta 4 --seed 0 --model_num 3 --arch ResNet --dataset cifar10

Outputs: Trained weights of each channel will be saved in ./checkpoints/lcm_gal_4.0_2.0_4.0/seed_0/3_ResNet20_cifar10/.
