A novel approach to analyzing adversarial examples is proposed, which aims to demystify the relationship between adversarial perturbations and different frequency components. By employing wavelet packet decomposition for detailed frequency analysis, researchers found that significant adversarial perturbations are present within the high-frequency components of low-frequency bands. This insight is used to develop a black-box adversarial attack algorithm that combines different frequency bands, resulting in enhanced attack efficiency. Experimental results on multiple datasets and models demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, with an average attack success rate reaching 99%.

Adversarial examples are a type of fake data that can trick machine learning models into making mistakes. Scientists want to understand how these fake data work so they can make sure the models are safe to use in real-life situations. One way to study fake data is by looking at them in different frequency bands, like high or low frequencies. Researchers found that some fake data are very good at tricking models because they have certain patterns in the high-frequency parts of the low-frequency bands. They used this idea to create a new way to attack models and make them work less well. This approach was tested on many datasets and models and it worked really well, making the model make mistakes 99% of the time.
