We discovered a novel way to use adversarially-trained deep neural networks (DNNs) in the context of transfer learning to quickly achieve higher accuracy on image classification tasks — even when limited training data is available. You can read our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.05869.
Adversarial training modifies the typical DNN training procedure by adding an adversarial perturbation δᵢ on each input image xᵢ with the objective of generating DNNs robust to adversarial attacks. In particular, for a DNN with m input images, a loss function ℓ(⋅), a model-predicted response h(⋅) parametrized by θ, and the true label for the iᵗʰ image yᵢ, the… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
