Statistical Adversaries: Natural Backdoor-like Features in Vision Datasets

Paul K. Mandal, Pavan Reddy, Tristan Malatynski

Model-specific adversarial attacks have been extensively studied. We study a different failure mode: naturally occurring statistical signals in vision data that can behave like backdoor-like triggers without being maliciously inserted. We call these signals statistical adversarie…Read more
