Overview

• This is the PyTorch implementation for AAAI 2021 paper "Deep Feature Space Trojan Attack of Neural Networks by Controlled Detoxification".
• The original TensorFlow version is available in the "tensorflow" branch of this repository.

Environments

# Create python environment (optional)
conda env create -f environment.yml
source activate dfst

Requirement

Please download the pre-trained model from the following link: Download Pre-trained Model

After downloading, unzip the file in the same directory. This will create a folder named ./magenta_arbitrary-image-stylization-v1-256_2 containing the pre-trained style transfer model.

Experiments

We provide example code snippets for CIFAR-10 and ResNet-18. These can be easily plugged in and modified in ./utils.py, specifically within the get_dataset(*) and get_model(*) functions.

Usage

• Train a clean model.

python main.py --gpu 0 --attack clean

• Train a model attacked by BadNets

python main.py --gpu 1 --attack badnet

• Train a model attacked by DFST

python main.py --gpu 2 --attack dfst

Configurations

The specific DFST poisoning configurations can be found in ./configs/dfst.json. The configurations for clean (./configs/clean.json) and BadNets (./configs/badnet.json) are similar.

Hyperparameter	Default Value	Description
dataset	"cifar10"	The utilized dataset.
network	"resnet18"	The utilized model architecture.
seed	1024	Random seed for reproducibility.
batch_size	128	Batch size for training.
epochs	200	Total number of training epochs.
attack	"dfst"	Type of backdoor attack employed.
target	0	The attack target label.
poison_rate	0.05	Poisoning rate within a training batch.
style_model_path	"magenta_arbitrary-image-stylization-v1-256_2"	Path to the pre-trained style model.
alpha	0.6	Transparency parameter for poisoned images.
detox_flag	true	Indicates whether the detoxification process is applied.
detox_layers	["layer4"]	The selected layers for detoxfication.
detox_neuron_ratio	0.01	Ratio of compromised neurons identified in each layer.
detox_epochs	10	Number of epochs for training the feature injector.
w_ssim	0.1	Weight of the SSIM loss during feature injector training.
w_detox	0.3	Weight of the detoxing loss during feature injector training.

Outputs

A saved model path will be appended to the folder upon training completion. For example, after training a DFST-attacked model, the folder ./model_dir_dfst will be created. This folder will contain various data and logs.

• ./model_dir_dfst/model.pt: Model file.
• ./model_dir_dfst/poison_data.pt: Contains both training and testing poisoned data.
• ./model_dir_dfst/training.log: Logs of the training process.
• ./model_dir_dfst/visual_poison.png: Visualization of a few poisoned images.

Revisions to the Original

• Replaced CycleGAN training with a pre-trained Arbitrary-Image-Stylization model for efficiency (./backdoors/dfst.py).
• Dynamically adjusted intensity of style transfer using the transparency parameter (alpha).
• Switched to a simplified Feature Injection function (./models/genr.py) over UNet to accelerate convergence.
• Identified the top-ranked (1%) compromised neurons (./detoxification.py), moving away from the use of multiple thresholds.
• Implemented the Detoxification process during each training epoch (./train.py).
