Enhancement Attack

Enhancement attacks manipulate data or models to artificially inflate performance metrics, undermining the trustworthiness of machine learning systems. Current research focuses on developing these attacks across various domains, including image recognition, text-to-image generation, and biomedical applications, exploring techniques like data augmentation manipulation and decision path coupling to achieve subtle yet impactful improvements. The ability to create such attacks highlights critical vulnerabilities in model evaluation and raises significant concerns about the reliability of results in high-stakes applications, demanding improved robustness checks and data provenance tracking.
