Explore the Effect of Data Selection on Poison Efficiency in Backdoor Attacks
As the number of parameters in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) scales, the thirst for training data also increases. To save costs, it has become common for users and enterprises to delegate time-consuming data collection to third parties. Unfortunately, recent research has shown that this practice raises the risk of DNNs being exposed to backdoor attacks. Specifically, an attacker can maliciously control the behavior of a trained model by poisoning a small portion of the training data. In this study, we focus on improving the poisoning efficiency of backdoor attacks from the sample selection perspective. The existing attack methods construct such poisoned samples by randomly selecting some clean data from the benign set and then embedding a trigger into them. However, this random selection strategy ignores that each sample may contribute differently to the backdoor injection, thereby reducing the poisoning efficiency. To address the above problem, a new selection strategy named Improved Filtering and Updating Strategy (FUS++) is proposed. Specifically, we adopt the forgetting events of the samples to indicate the contribution of different poisoned samples and use the curvature of the loss surface to analyses the effectiveness of this phenomenon. Accordingly, we combine forgetting events and curvature of different samples to conduct a simple yet efficient sample selection strategy. The experimental results on image classification (CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, ImageNet-10), text classification (AG News), audio classification (ESC-50), and age regression (Facial Age) consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy: the attack performance using FUS++ is significantly higher than that using random selection for the same poisoning ratio.
