Patch Attack
Patch attacks involve strategically placing small, visually inconspicuous adversarial patches on images or videos to fool deep learning models, primarily in computer vision applications like autonomous driving and object recognition. Current research focuses on developing robust defenses, employing techniques like diffusion models, image inpainting, and entropy-based analysis to detect and mitigate these attacks, often within a certified robustness framework. This area is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of AI systems deployed in real-world scenarios, particularly those with safety-critical implications. The development of effective defenses against patch attacks is a significant challenge driving ongoing research and innovation in adversarial machine learning.
