VENOM: Text-driven Unrestricted Adversarial Example Generation with Diffusion Models [PDF]
arXivAdversarial attacks have proven effective in deceiving machine learning models by subtly altering input images, motivating extensive research in recent years. Traditional methods constrain perturbations within $l_p$-norm bounds, but advancements in Unrestricted Adversarial Examples (UAEs) allow for more complex, generative-model-based manipulations ...

A general approach to enhance the survivability of backdoor attacks by decision path coupling [PDF]
arXivBackdoor attacks have been one of the emerging security threats to deep neural networks (DNNs), leading to serious consequences. One of the mainstream backdoor defenses is model reconstruction-based. Such defenses adopt model unlearning or pruning to eliminate backdoors. However, little attention has been paid to survive from such defenses.
