Adversarial Example Detection for Deep Neural Networks: A Review

Deep neural networks have been widely applied in various critical domains. However, they are vulnerable to the threat of adversarial examples. It is challenging to make deep neural networks inherently robust to adversarial examples, while adversarial example detection offers advantages such as not affecting model classification accuracy. This paper introduces common adversarial attack methods and provides an explanation of adversarial example detection. Recent advances in adversarial example detection methods are categorized into two major classes: statistical methods and adversarial detection networks. The evolutionary relationship among different detection methods is discussed. Finally, the current research status in this field is summarized, and potential future directions are highlighted.
