Provable Unrestricted Adversarial Training without Compromise with Generalizability

Summary

This paper introduces Provable Unrestricted Adversarial Training (PUAT), a novel adversarial training approach. PUAT enhances robustness against both unrestricted and restricted adversarial examples while improving standard generalizability by aligning the distributions of adversarial examples, natural data, and the classifier's learned distribution. The approach uses partially labeled data and an augmented triple-GAN to generate effective unrestricted adversarial examples, demonstrating superior performance on benchmarks.
