Reverse Engineering Deep ReLU Networks An Optimization-based Algorithm

2023-12-07 · Mehrab Hamidi

Reverse engineering deep ReLU networks is a critical problem in understanding the complex behavior and interpretability of neural networks. In this research, we present a novel method for reconstructing deep ReLU networks by leveraging convex optimization techniques and a sampling-based approach. Our method begins by sampling points in the input space and querying the black box model to obtain the corresponding hyperplanes. We then define a convex optimization problem with carefully chosen constraints and conditions to guarantee its convexity. The objective function is designed to minimize the discrepancy between the reconstructed networks output and the target models output, subject to the constraints. We employ gradient descent to optimize the objective function, incorporating L1 or L2 regularization as needed to encourage sparse or smooth solutions. Our research contributes to the growing body of work on reverse engineering deep ReLU networks and paves the way for new advancements in neural network interpretability and security.

Parameter space is not function space for neural network architectures. This fact, investigated as early as the 1990s under terms such as ``reverse engineering," or ``parameter identifiability", has led to the natural qu…

It has been widely assumed that a neural network cannot be recovered from its outputs, as the network depends on its parameters in a highly nonlinear way. Here, we prove that in fact it is often possible to identify the …
