Learning from Peers: Collaborative Ensemble Adversarial Training

2025-08-27 · Li Dengjin, Guo Yanming, Xie Yuxiang, Li Zheng, Chen Jiangming, Li Xiaolong, Lao Mingrui arxiv

Ensemble Adversarial Training (EAT) attempts to enhance the robustness of models against adversarial attacks by leveraging multiple models. However, current EAT strategies tend to train the sub-models independently, ignoring the cooperative benefits between sub-models. Through detailed inspections of the process of EAT, we find that that samples with classification disparities between sub-models are close to the decision boundary of ensemble, exerting greater influence on the robustness of ensemble. To this end, we propose a novel yet efficient Collaborative Ensemble Adversarial Training (CEAT), to highlight the cooperative learning among sub-models in the ensemble. To be specific, samples with larger predictive disparities between the sub-models will receive greater attention during the adversarial training of the other sub-models. CEAT leverages the probability disparities to adaptively assign weights to different samples, by incorporating a calibrating distance regularization. Extensive experiments on widely-adopted datasets show that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance over competitive EAT methods. It is noteworthy that CEAT is model-agnostic, which can be seamlessly adapted into various ensemble methods with flexible applicability.
