BackdoorBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark of Backdoor Learning

Understand

Backdoor learning is an emerging and vital topic for studying deep neural networks' vulnerability (DNNs).

• Many pioneering backdoor attack and defense methods are being proposed, successively or concurrently, in the status of a rapid arms race.
• However, we find that the evaluations of new methods are often unthorough to verify their claims and accurate performance, mainly due to the rapid development, diverse settings, and the difficulties of implementation and reproducibility.
• Without thorough evaluations and comparisons, it is not easy to track the current progress and design the future development roadmap of the literature.
