Double Sampling Randomized Smoothing

Official code repo for [ICML 2022] Double Sampling Randomized Smoothing.

Double sampling randomized smoothing (DSRS) is a novel robustness certification framework for randomized smoothing.

The randomized smoothing (RS) (c.f. Cohen et al, Lecuyer et al) adds noise to the input and uses majority voting among the model predictions for multiple noised inputs to get the final label prediction. Since the shifting of the center of noised input distribution does not change the ranking of label predictions, the RS models are certifiably robust to small L2-norm-bounded perturbations.

Given an input instance and a model, robustness certification approach computes a robust radius, such that any perturbations within the radius does not the change the final prediction. By nature, certification approach is conservative --- it provides a lower bound of robust radius while the maximum robust radius for the given input instance could be much larger than the one computed by the certification approach.

For RS, the most widely-used certification approach is called Neyman-Pearson-based certfication. It leverages the probability of base model's predicting each class under the input noise to compute the certification.

In this work, we propose to sample the base model's prediction statistics under two different distributions, and leverage the joint information to compute the certification. Since we leverage more information, our certification approach is guaranteed to be tighter (if not equal) than the most widely-used Neyman-Pearson-based approach.

More details can be found in our paper.

Usage

Preparation

Install recommended environment: python 3.9.7, scikit-learn >= 0.24, torch 1.10 with GPU (for fast sampling of DNN models).
If you need to reproduce the results from certifying pretrained models (see Guidelines for Reproducing Experimental Results > Scenario B), download the trained models from Figshare (https://figshare.com/articles/software/Pretrained_Models_for_DSRS/21313548), and unzip to models/ folder. After unzip, the models folder should contain 5 subfolder: models/cifar10 (smoothadv's pretrained best CIFAR-10 models), models/consistency (reproduced consistency models), models/new_cohen (reproduced Cohen's Gaussian augmentation models), models/salman (reproduced Salman et al's models), and models/smoothmix (reproduced SmoothMix models).

Running Certification from Scratch

The main entrance of our code is main.py, which computes both the Neyman-Pearson-based certification and DSRS certification given the sampled probability folder path.

Given a input test dataset and a model, to compute the DSRS certification, we need the following three steps:

Sampling & get the probability (P_A and Q_A) under two distributions

sampler.py loads the model and does model inference via PyTorch APIs. It will output pA or qA to corresponding txt file in data/sampling/{model_filename.pth (.tar extension name is trimmed)}/ folder (will create the folder). Note that each run only samples pA from one distribution, so:

If the end-goal is to compute only the Neyman-Pearson-based certification, we only need one probability (P_A), and thus we run sampler.py just once for the model.
If the end-goal is to compute the DSRS certification, we need two probabilties from two different distributions (P_A and Q_A), and thus we run sampler.py twice for the model.

Main usage:

python sampler.py [dataset: mnist/cifar10/imagenet/tinyiamgenet] [model: models/*/*.pth.tar] [sigma] --disttype [gaussian/general-gaussian] {--k [k]} {--th [number between 0 and 1 or "x+" for adaptive thresholding]} --N [sampling number, usually 50000 for DSRS, 100000 for Neyman-Pearson] --alpha [confidence, usually 0.0005 for DSRS, 0.001 for Neyman-Pearson]

There are other options such as batch size, data output directory, GPU no. specification, etc. Please browse parser.add_arguments() statements to get familier with them.

If the distribution is Gaussian, we don't need to specify $k$.
If the distribution is generalized Gaussian, we need to specify $k$, whose meaning can be found in the paper.
If the distribution is Gaussian or generalized Gaussian with thresholding, --th specifies the threshold.
- If the threshold is a static value, th is a real number meaning the percentile.
- If the threshold is depended by pA, th is "x+" (there are other heuristics but they do not work well), and the script will search the pA file to determine the threshold dynamically.

Compute the Neyman-Pearson-based certification

main.py is the entrance for computing both the Neyman-Pearson-based certification and the DSRS certification. Note compute the DSRS certification, one first needs to execute this step, i.e., compute the Neyman-Pearson-based certification, since DSRS tries to increase the radius certified strating from the certified radius of Neyman-Pearson-based certification.

main.py is built solely on CPU, mainly relying on scikit-learn package.

Main usage:

python main.py [dataset: mnist/cifar10/imagenet/tinyimagenet] origin [model: *.pth - will read from data/sampling/model, just type in "*.pth" as the name without relative path] [disttype = gaussian/general-gaussian] [sigma] [N: sampling number, used to index the sampling txt file] [alpha: confidence, used to index the sampling file] {--k [k]}

There are other options that can customized the folder path of sampling data or the parallelized CPU processes. But the default one is already good. Note that some arguments in main.py only have effects when computing DSRS certification, such as -b, --improve_*, --new_rad_dir.

If the distribution type is generalized Gaussian, we need to specify k, otherwise not.

For standard Gaussian, we use the closed-form expression in Cohen et al to compute the certification. For generalized Gaussian, we use the numerical integration method in Yang et al to compute the certification.

Compute the DSRS certification

Once the Neyman-Pearson-based certification is computed, we run main.py again but use different arguments to compute the DSRS certification.

Main usage:

python main.py [dataset: mnist/cifar10/imagenet/tinyimagenet] improved [model: *.pth - will read from data/sampling/model, just type in "*.pth" as the name without relative path] [disttype = gaussian/general-gaussian/gaussian-th/general-gaussian-th] [sigma] [N: sampling number, used to index the sampling txt file] [alpha: confidence, used to index the sampling file] {--k [k]} {-b b1 b2 ...} {--improve_mode grid/fast/precise} {--improve_unit real_number} {--improve_eps real_number}

Note that the arguments are different from step 2, where origin changed to improved. The script will read in the previous Neyman-Pearson-based certification files, and compute the improved certification.

Distribution P's parameters are specified by disttype and k. Specifically, if disttype is gaussian-th or general-gaussian-th, the P distribution is Gaussian or generalized Gaussian respectively, and the Q distribution is thresholded Gaussian or thresholded generalized Gaussian respectively.

Distribution Q is of the same disttype and has the same k as P. The difference is in variance (if disttype is gaussian or general-gaussian) or the threshold (if disttype is gaussian-th or general-gaussian-th). The variance or the threshold (real number if static percentile threshold, x+ if dynamic heuristic based threshold) is specified by b1, b2, ..., where each bi stands for one option of Q distribution, i.e., the script supports computing the certification with one P and multiple different Q's in a single run.

--improve_* arguments specify the way we try a new robust radius to certify. The most precise way is to conduct binary search as listed in Algorithm 2 in the paper, but for efficiency we can also use grid mode as improve_mode which iteratively enlarges the radius by imrpove_unit and tries to certify.

As mentioned in Appendix E.3, among these three steps, the most time-consuming step is Step 1 on typical image classification datasets.

Result Summarization and Plotting

We provide the script dump_main_result.py to summarize main experimental data in our paper.

Usage: python dump_main_result.py It will create result/ folder and dump all main tables and figures there. Some critical results are also printed in stdout.

Appendix: Training Scripts

The repo also contains code that trains the model suitable for DSRS certification (as discussed in Appendix I).

train.py code is adapted from Consistency training code in https://github.com/jh-jeong/smoothing-consistency.

train_smoothmix.py code is adapted from SmoothMix training code in https://github.com/jh-jeong/smoothmix.

For MNIST and CIFAR-10, we train from scratch. For ImageNet, we finetune from pretrained ImageNet models for a few epochs. Whent the training is finished, we need to copy the *.pth.tar model to models/ folder.

Guidelines for Reproducing Experimental Results

Training -> certifying pretrained models -> dump tables/figures from certification data

Scenario A: Reproducing by dumping tables/figures from certification data? (in seconds)

The original experimental data (sampled pA, qA, and computed robust radius from Neyman-Pearson-based certification and DSRS certification) is in data/ (uploaded to the repo). We only need to run python dump_main_result.py and browse the results in result/ folder.

Scenario B: Reproducing from certifying pretrained models? (1-2 days on 24-core CPU)

First, download the pretrained models and unzip to models/ folder.

Then, run the three steps in Usage > Running Certification from Scratch.

Step 1:

a. Sampling from P:

For MNIST models:

MODEL = models/new_cohen/cohen-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = models/consistency/consistency-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = models/smoothmix/smoothmix-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for SmoothMix models)

python sampler.py mnist MODEL 0.25/0.50/1.00 --disttype general-gaussian --k 380 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 10 --batch 400
For CIFAR-10 models:

MODEL = models/new_cohen/cohen-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = models/consistency/consistency-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = models/smoothmix/smoothmix-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for SmoothMix models)

python sampler.py cifar10 MODEL 0.25/0.50/1.00 --disttype general-gaussian --k 1530 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 10 --batch 400
For ImageNet models:

MODEL = models/new_cohen/cohen-imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = models/consistency/consistencyn-imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = models/smoothmix/smoothmix-imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth.tar (for SmoothMix models)

python sampler.py imagenet MODEL 0.25/0.50/1.00 --disttype general-gaussian --k 75260 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 50 --batch 400

b. Sampling from Q:

For MNIST models:

python sampler.py mnist MODEL 0.2/0.4/0.8 --disttype general-gaussian --k 380 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 10 --batch 400
For CIFAR-10 models:

python sampler.py cifar10 MODEL 0.2/0.4/0.8 --disttype general-gaussian --k 1530 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 10 --batch 400
For ImageNet models:

python sampler.py imagenet MODEL 0.25/0.50/1.00 --disttype general-gaussian --k 1530 --N 50000 --alpha 0.0005 --skip 50 --batch 400 --th x+

c. (optional) Sampling from P for the baseline: replicating the commands in Step 1a but change arguments to --N 100000 --alpha 0.001, since Neyman-Pearson-based certification only needs one sampling process so we can allocate all 10e5 sampling number and 0.001 confidence budget in one run.

Step 2: Neyman-Pearson-based certification

a. Prepare for DSRS certification via computing initial Neyman-Pearson-based certification

For MNIST models:

MODEL = cohen-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = consistency-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = smoothmix-mnist-380-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for SmoothMix models)

python main.py mnist origin MODEL general-gaussian --k 380 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 --workers 20
For CIFAR-10 models:

MODEL = cohen-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = consistency-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = smoothmix-cifar-1530-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for SmoothMix models)

python main.py cifar10 origin MODEL general-gaussian --k 1530 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 --workers 20
For ImageNet models:

MODEL = cohen-imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Gaussian augmentation models)

or MODEL = imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for Consistency models)

or MODEL = smoothmix-imagenet-75260-[0.25/0.50/1.00].pth (for SmoothMix models)

python sampler.py imagenet origin MODEL general-gaussian --k 75260 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 --workers 20

b. (optional) Compute the Neyman-Pearson-based certification as the baseline: replicating the commands in Step 2a but change arguments 50000 0.0005 to 100000 0.001.

Step 3: DSRS certification

Use the same MODEL variable in Step 2a.

For MNIST models:

python main.py mnist improved MODEL general-gaussian --k 380 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 -b 0.2/0.4/0.8 --workers 20
For CIFAR-10 models:

python main.py cifar10 improved MODEL general-gaussian --k 1530 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 -b 0.2/0.4/0.8 --workers 20
For ImageNet models:

python main.py imagenet improved MODEL general-gaussian-th --k 75260 0.25/0.50/1.00 50000 0.0005 -b x+ --workers 20

Dump the results following the commands in Scenario A.

Scenario C: Reproducing from training, i.e., reproducing from scratch? (1-2 weeks for training on 4x3090 GPU + 1-2 days on 24-score CPU)

First, run training commands: see Usage > Appendix: Training Scripts.

Then, run certification commands: see Scenario B.

Lastly, dump the results: see Scenario A.
