On Evaluating Neural Network Backdoor Defenses

23 Oct 2020  ·  Akshaj Veldanda, Siddharth Garg ·

Deep neural networks (DNNs) demonstrate superior performance in various fields, including scrutiny and security. However, recent studies have shown that DNNs are vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Several defenses were proposed in the past to defend DNNs against such backdoor attacks. In this work, we conduct a critical analysis and identify common pitfalls in these existing defenses, prepare a comprehensive database of backdoor attacks, conduct a side-by-side evaluation of existing defenses against this database. Finally, we layout some general guidelines to help researchers develop more robust defenses in the future and avoid common mistakes from the past.
