Optimal Adversarial
Optimal adversarial research focuses on finding the most effective strategies for attacking and defending machine learning models, particularly deep neural networks, against adversarial examples—inputs designed to cause misclassification. Current research explores this through various frameworks, including multi-agent reinforcement learning, optimal transport theory, and evolutionary algorithms, often employing techniques like adversarial training and game theory to find optimal attack and defense strategies under different cost constraints. This work is crucial for improving the robustness and security of machine learning systems across diverse applications, from transportation networks to image classification, by identifying vulnerabilities and developing more resilient models.
