$ source ~/.bashrc
$ conda install pytorch=0.4.1

TRADES: A New Loss Function for Adversarial Training

What is TRADES?

TRADES minimizes a regularized surrogate loss L(.,.) (e.g., the cross-entropy loss) for adversarial training:

Important: the surrogate loss L(.,.) in the second term should be classification-calibrated according to our theory, in contrast to the L2 loss used in Adversarial Logit Pairing.

The first term encourages the natural error to be optimized by minimizing the "difference" between f(X) and Y , while the second regularization term encourages the output to be smooth, that is, it pushes the decision boundary of classifier away from the sample instances via minimizing the "difference" between the prediction of natural example f(X) and that of adversarial example f(X′). The tuning parameter β plays a critical role on balancing the importance of natural and robust errors.

Left figure: decision boundary by natural training. Right figure: decision boundary by TRADES.

How to use TRADES to train robust models?

Natural training:

def train(args, model, device, train_loader, optimizer, epoch):
    model.train()
    for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
        data, target = data.to(device), target.to(device)
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss = F.cross_entropy(model(data), target)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

Adversarial training by TRADES:

To apply TRADES, cd into the directory, put 'trades.py' to the directory. Replace F.cross_entropy() above with trades_loss():

from trades import trades_loss

def train(args, model, device, train_loader, optimizer, epoch):
    model.train()
    for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(train_loader):
        data, target = data.to(device), target.to(device)
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        # calculate robust loss - TRADES loss
        loss = trades_loss(model=model,
                           x_natural=data,
                           y=target,
                           optimizer=optimizer,
                           step_size=args.step_size,
                           epsilon=args.epsilon,
                           perturb_steps=args.num_steps,
                           beta=args.beta,
			   distance='l_inf')
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

Arguments:

• step_size: step size for perturbation
• epsilon: limit on the perturbation size
• num_steps: number of perturbation iterations for projected gradient descent (PGD)
• beta: trade-off regularization parameter
• distance: type of perturbation distance, 'l_inf' or 'l_2'

The trade-off regularization parameter beta can be set in [1, 10]. Larger beta leads to more robust and less accurate models.

Basic MNIST example (adversarial training by TRADES):

python mnist_example_trades.py

We adapt main.py in [link] to our new loss trades_loss() during training.

Running demos

Adversarial training:

• Train WideResNet-34-10 model on CIFAR10:

  $ python train_trades_cifar10.py

• Train CNN model (four convolutional layers + three fully-connected layers) on MNIST:

  $ python train_trades_mnist.py

• Train CNN model (two convolutional layers + two fully-connected layers) on MNIST (digits '1' and '3') for binary classification problem:

  $ python train_trades_mnist_binary.py

Robustness evaluation:

• Evaluate robust WideResNet-34-10 model on CIFAR10 by FGSM-20 attack:

  $ python pgd_attack_cifar10.py

• Evaluate robust CNN model on MNIST by FGSM-40 attack:

  $ python pgd_attack_mnist.py

Experimental results

Results in the NeurIPS 2018 Adversarial Vision Challenge [link]

TRADES won the 1st place out of 1,995 submissions in the NeurIPS 2018 Adversarial Vision Challenge (Robust Model Track) on the Tiny ImageNet dataset, surpassing the runner-up approach by 11.41% in terms of L2 perturbation distance.

Top-6 results (out of 1,995 submissions) in the NeurIPS 2018 Adversarial Vision Challenge (Robust Model Track). The vertical axis represents the mean L2 perturbation distance that makes robust models fail to output correct labels.
