Adversarial examples aim at causing target model to make a mistake on prediction. It can be either be intended or unintended to cause a model to perform poorly. For example, we may have a typo when using Gmail and making Smart Reply unable to provide a suggestion for writing an email.
No matter it is an intentional or unintentional adversarial attack, evaluating adversarial examples has become a trend of building a robust deep learning model and understanding the shortcomings of models. This story will talk about the adversarial attacks and how we can generate adversarial examples… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
