Abstract

Our novel technique utilizes a Joint Energy-based Model (JEM) that integrates both discriminative and generative approaches to increase resistance against dirty-label backdoor attacks. Our approach is especially effective when the trigger is short or hardly perceivable. We simulate the attack on the Speech Commands Dataset consisting of 1 s audio clips. During training, we use JEM to model a view of the input implemented by a randomly selected 610 ms window. During inference, we combine all (40) possible views utilizing a generative part of JEM. The resulting system has slightly decreased accuracy but significantly increased resistance shown in multiple scenarios. Interestingly, replacing JEM with a standard discriminative model (Disc) provides increased resistance with a lesser effect compared to JEM but maintains accuracy. We introduce an extension motivated by semi-supervised training that further improves JEM but not Disc. JEM can also benefit from Gaussian noise during evaluation.
