About The Talk

Machine learning evaluates the performance by minimizing a loss function. However, robustness issues have gained great concern which can be fatal in safety-critical applications. Adversarial training can mitigate the issue by minimizing the loss of worst-case perturbations of data. It is effective in improving the robustness of the model, but it is too conservative that the plain performance of the model can be unsatisfying. This work empirically balances the average- and worst-case performance while the robustness of the model is not provable. A novel method is proposed for robust learning by sampling based on hypothesis testing. It guides the training to improve robustness in a probabilistic robustness setting efficiently.
