To compress or not to compress: Understanding the Interactions between Adversarial Attacks and Neural Network Compression

Zhao, Yiren, Shumailov, Ilia, Mullins, Robert et al.

Understand

As deep neural networks (DNNs) become widely used, pruned and quantised models are becoming ubiquitous on edge devices; such compressed DNNs are popular for lowering computational requirements.

  • Meanwhile, recent studies show that adversarial samples can be effective at making DNNs misclassify.
  • We, therefore, investigate the extent to which adversarial samples are transferable between uncompressed and compressed DNNs.
  • We find that adversarial samples remain transferable for both pruned and quantised models.
