Backdoor attacks (BAs) are an emerging threat to deep neural network classifiers. A victim classifier will predict to an attacker-desired target class whenever a test sample is embedded with the same backdoor pattern (BP) that was used to…
Poisoning-based backdoor attacks pose significant threats to deep neural networks by embedding triggers in training data, causing models to misclassify triggered inputs as adversary-specified labels while maintaining performance on clean…
Under a commonly-studied backdoor poisoning attack against classification models, an attacker adds a small trigger to a subset of the training data, such that the presence of this trigger at test time causes the classifier to always predict…
