Improved Robustness Against Adaptive Attacks With Ensembles and Error-Correcting Output Codes
Thomas Philippon

Neural network ensembles have been studied extensively in the context of adversarial robustness and most ensemble-based approaches remain vu… (see more)lnerable to adaptive attacks. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) ensembles through architectural improvements and ensemble diversity promotion. We perform a comprehensive robustness assessment against adaptive attacks and investigate the relationship between ensemble diversity and robustness. Our results demonstrate the benefits of ECOC ensembles for adversarial robustness compared to regular ensembles of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and show why the robustness of previous implementations is limited. We also propose an adversarial training method specific to ECOC ensembles that allows to further improve robustness to adaptive attacks.
