Standard Adversarial Training

Standard adversarial training aims to improve the robustness of machine learning models, particularly deep neural networks, against adversarial attacks—maliciously perturbed inputs designed to cause misclassification. Current research focuses on addressing limitations of traditional adversarial training, such as robust overfitting and the computational cost, through techniques like dataset distillation, refined min-max optimization strategies (e.g., focusing on "hiders"), and novel training objectives that incorporate both adversarial and anti-adversarial examples or leverage contrastive learning. These advancements are significant because they enhance the reliability and security of machine learning systems across various applications, from image recognition to natural language processing, by mitigating vulnerabilities to adversarial attacks.
