Sparse mixture once-for-all adversarial training for efficient in-situ trade-off between accuracy and robustness of DNNs

Abstract

Existing deep neural networks (DNNs) that achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on both clean and adversarially-perturbed images rely on either activation or weight conditioned convolution operations. However, such conditional learning costs additional multiply-accumulate (MAC) or addition operations, increasing inference memory and compute costs. To that end, we present a sparse mixture once for all adversarial training (SMART), that allows a model to train once and then in-situ trade-off between accuracy and robustness, that too at a reduced compute and parameter overhead. In particular, SMART develops two expert paths, for clean and adversarial images, respectively, that are then conditionally trained via respective dedicated sets of binary sparsity masks. Extensive evaluations on multiple image classification datasets across different models show SMART to have up to 2.72× fewer non-zero …
