In a graph convolutional network, we assume that the graph @math is generated with respect to some observation noise. We make small random perturbations @math of the graph and try to improve generalization. Based on quantum information geometry, we can have quantitative measurements on the scale of @math . We try to maximize the intrinsic scale of the permutation with a small budget while minimizing the loss based on the perturbed @math . Our proposed model can consistently improve graph convolutional networks on semi-supervised node classification tasks with reasonable computational overhead. We present two different types of geometry on the manifold of graphs: one is for measuring the intrinsic change of a graph; the other is for measuring how such changes can affect externally a graph neural network. These new analytical tools will be useful in developing a good understanding of graph neural networks and fostering new techniques.
Adversarial attacks under the FIM @cite_19 propose to carry out perturbations in the spectral domain. Given a quadratic form of FIM, the optimal adversarial perturbation is given by the first eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue. The larger the eigenvalues of FIM are the larger is the susceptibility of the classification approach to attacks on the corresponding eigenvectors.

Many deep learning models are vulnerable to the adversarial attack, i.e., imperceptible but intentionally-designed perturbations to the input can cause incorrect output of the networks. In this paper, using information geometry, we provide a reasonable explanation for the vulnerability of deep learning models. By considering the data space as a non-linear space with the Fisher information metric induced from a neural network, we first propose an adversarial attack algorithm termed one-step spectral attack (OSSA). The method is described by a constrained quadratic form of the Fisher information matrix, where the optimal adversarial perturbation is given by the first eigenvector, and the vulnerability is reflected by the eigenvalues. The larger an eigenvalue is, the more vulnerable the model is to be attacked by the corresponding eigenvector. Taking advantage of the property, we also propose an adversarial detection method with the eigenvalues serving as characteristics. Both our attack and detection algorithms are numerically optimized to work efficiently on large datasets. Our evaluations show superior performance compared with other methods, implying that the Fisher information is a promising approach to investigate the adversarial attacks and defenses. When generating adversarial examples to attack deep neural networks (DNNs), Lp norm of the added perturbation is usually used to measure the similarity between original image and adversarial example. However, such adversarial attacks perturbing the raw input spaces may fail to capture structural information hidden in the input. This work develops a more general attack model, i.e., the structured attack (StrAttack), which explores group sparsity in adversarial perturbations by sliding a mask through images aiming for extracting key spatial structures. An ADMM (alternating direction method of multipliers)-based framework is proposed that can split the original problem into a sequence of analytically solvable subproblems and can be generalized to implement other attacking methods. Strong group sparsity is achieved in adversarial perturbations even with the same level of Lp norm distortion as the state-of-the-art attacks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of StrAttack by extensive experimental results onMNIST, CIFAR-10, and ImageNet. We also show that StrAttack provides better interpretability (i.e., better correspondence with discriminative image regions)through adversarial saliency map (, 2016b) and class activation map(, 2016). One of the challenges in the study of generative adversarial networks is the instability of its training. In this paper, we propose a novel weight normalization technique called spectral normalization to stabilize the training of the discriminator. Our new normalization technique is computationally light and easy to incorporate into existing implementations. We tested the efficacy of spectral normalization on CIFAR10, STL-10, and ILSVRC2012 dataset, and we experimentally confirmed that spectrally normalized GANs (SN-GANs) is capable of generating images of better or equal quality relative to the previous training stabilization techniques.
