This will be presented today at #NeurIPS (11am-1pm) Poster #1036. Come through if interested in boosting robustness to adversarial examples!

Can we boost barely robust learning algorithms to learn predictors with high robust accuracy?

I am very excited to share new work putting forward a theory for boosting adversarial robustness: https://t.co/PLioXF04yX. (1/6)

@roydanroy Thank you for sharing Dan! 😊

[Omar Montasser @montasser_omar]

Joint work with Avrim Blum, Greg Shakhnarovich, and @hongyangzh.
I hope you enjoy the read!

[Omar Montasser @montasser_omar]

Our results reveal that the two problems of barely robust learning and strongly robust learning are actually equivalent. There is also an interesting landscape for boosting robustness that emerges with connections to the classic and pioneering works on boosting the accuracy.

@tengyuma I love the name of the method :)

@justinsayarath Oren's Hummus is livin up to the hype. It's very delicious!

[Omar Montasser @montasser_omar]

Thank you @KPCBFellows for the wonderful gift!
@justinsayarath your tip was on the spot, I love gelato :D
