Adversarial Attacks Detection Method for Tabular Data
Revolutionizing ML Security for Tabular Data
The research introduces a novel black-box detection method for adversarial attacks on tabular data, leveraging surrogate models and diagnostic attributes. It achieves high balanced accuracy (over 0.94) and low false negative rates (0.02–0.10) in binary attack detection across various datasets and attack types. The method offers interpretability through diagnostic attributes, which can form human-readable decision rules, and demonstrates effectiveness even with subtle perturbations. While strong in detection, classifying attack types remains challenging.

The proposed method achieves exceptional performance in detecting adversarial attacks on tabular data. It leverages a combination of surrogate models and diagnostic attributes to identify perturbations, achieving balanced accuracy exceeding 0.94 and false negative rates as low as 0.02-0.10. This robust performance is consistent across 22 diverse tabular datasets and 7 distinct attack methods, including gradient- and sampling-based approaches.
The detection framework is rooted in Explainable AI (XAI) principles, utilizing a surrogate model to emulate the black-box classifier's behavior. Diagnostic attributes, such as neighborhood consistency and uncertainty scores, are extracted from this surrogate. These attributes not only expose adversarial manipulations but also provide human-readable insights into model decisions, allowing for the derivation of explicit decision rules that signify attack presence.
A core innovation is the use of approximation reduct ensembles to construct stable and robust surrogate models. These surrogates provide a local context for evaluating model decisions by defining neighborhoods of similar data instances. This approach is highly effective in detecting subtle adversarial perturbations that might otherwise go unnoticed, distinguishing itself from traditional methods by restricting neighborhoods to the most relevant comparisons.
