Uncovering the Limits of Adversarial Training against Norm-Bounded Adversarial Examples
Adversarial training and its variants have become de facto standards for learning robust deep neural networks. In this paper, we explore the landscape around adversarial training in a bid to uncover its limits. We systematically study the effect of different training losses, model sizes, activation functions, the addition of unlabeled data (through pseudo-labeling) and other factors on adversarial robustness. We discover that it is possible to train robust models that go well beyond state-of-the-art results by combining larger models, Swish/SiLU activations and model weight averaging. We demonstrate large improvements on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 against $\ell_\infty$ and $\ell_2$ norm-bounded perturbations of size $8/255$ and $128/255$, respectively. In the setting with additional unlabeled data, we obtain an accuracy under attack of 65.88% against $\ell_\infty$ perturbations of size $8/255$ on CIFAR-10 (+6.35% with respect to prior art). Without additional data, we obtain an accuracy under attack of 57.20% (+3.46%). To test the generality of our findings and without any additional modifications, we obtain an accuracy under attack of 80.53% (+7.62%) against $\ell_2$ perturbations of size $128/255$ on CIFAR-10, and of 36.88% (+8.46%) against $\ell_\infty$ perturbations of size $8/255$ on CIFAR-100.
