The field of artificial intelligence is moving towards developing more robust and secure models, particularly in the context of adversarial attacks and data perturbations. Recent research has focused on enhancing model resistance to transferable adversarial examples, backdoor attacks, and input noise. Innovative approaches, such as trigger activation and proactive model robustification, have shown promising results in improving model security. Furthermore, the development of frameworks for evaluating model robustness, such as FLUKE and RoMA, has enabled more systematic and task-agnostic assessments of model vulnerability. Noteworthy papers in this area include: TrojanDam, which proposes a novel backdoor defense mechanism utilizing out-of-distribution samples, and Towards Model Resistant to Transferable Adversarial Examples via Trigger Activation, which introduces a new training paradigm for enhancing model robustness against transferable adversarial examples.
