ScoreAdv: Score-based Targeted Generation of Natural Adversarial Examples via Diffusion Models

Summary

The paper introduces ScoreAdv, a novel approach for generating natural adversarial examples (UAEs) using diffusion models. It incorporates an adversarial guidance mechanism and saliency maps to shift the sampling distribution and inject visual information. Experiments on ImageNet and CelebA datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art attack success rates, image quality, and robustness against defenses.
