| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary This paper addresses the current lack of a unified and standardized benchmark for backdoor learning in deep neural networks (DNNs). As the field rapidly evolves with successive or concurrent development of attack and defense algorithms, there is an urgent need for a reliable evaluation framework. The authors present BackdoorBench, a comprehensive benchmark that integrates 20 state-of-the-art attack and 32 defense algorithms into an extensible modular-based codebase. They conduct thorough evaluations on four models and four datasets using five poisoning ratios, resulting in 11,492 pairs of attack-against-defense evaluations. Furthermore, the authors provide abundant analysis from ten perspectives via eighteen tools, revealing valuable insights about backdoor learning. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary Backdoor learning is a way to make deep neural networks vulnerable. Many people are working on this area, but it’s hard to compare their results because there isn’t a standard way to test and evaluate their methods. To help with this problem, the authors created a benchmark called BackdoorBench. It includes many different attack and defense algorithms that can be tested together. They used this benchmark to evaluate 20 attacks and 32 defenses on four models and four datasets. The results show how well each algorithm performs under different conditions. This information can help researchers develop better algorithms and understand how backdoor learning works. |
