Towards Generalized Certified Robustness with Multi-Norm Training
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Existing certified training methods can only train models to be robust against a certain perturbation type (e.g. l_∞ or l2). However, an l_∞ certifiably robust model may not be certifiably robust against l2 perturbation (and vice versa) and also has low robustness against other perturbations (e.g. geometric and patch transformation). By constructing a theoretical framework to analyze and mitigate the tradeoff, we propose the first multi-norm certified training framework CURE, consisting of several multi-norm certified training methods, to attain better union robustness when training from scratch or fine-tuning a pre-trained certified model. Inspired by our theoretical findings, we devise bound alignment and connect natural training with certified training for better union robustness. Compared with SOTA-certified training, CURE improves union robustness to 32.0% on MNIST, 25.8% on CIFAR-10, and 10.6% on TinyImagenet across different epsilon values. It leads to better generalization on a diverse set of challenging unseen geometric and patch perturbations to 6.8% and 16.0% on CIFAR-10. Overall, our contributions pave a path towards textitgeneralized certified robustness.
