Abstract

Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples which are inputs modified with unnoticeable but malicious perturbations. Most defending methods only focus on tuning the DNN itself, but we propose a novel defending method which modifies the input data to detect the adversarial examples. We establish a detection framework based on normalizing filters that can partially erase those perturbations by smoothing the input image or depth reduction work. The framework gives the decision by comparing the classification results of original input and multiple normalized inputs. Using several combinations of gaussian blur filter, median blur filter and depth reduction filter, the evaluation results reaches a high detection rate and achieves partial restoration work of adversarial examples in MNIST dataset. The whole detection framework is a low-cost highly extensible strategy in DNN defending works.
