An Orthogonal Classifier for Improving the Adversarial Robustness of Neural Networks

Xu, Cong, Li, Xiang, Yang, Min

Understand

Neural networks are susceptible to artificially designed adversarial perturbations.

  • Recent efforts have shown that imposing certain modifications on classification layer can improve the robustness of the neural networks.
  • In this paper, we explicitly construct a dense orthogonal weight matrix whose entries have the same magnitude, thereby leading to a novel robust classifier.
  • The proposed classifier avoids the undesired structural redundancy issue in previous work.
