Abstract

Several deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial samples that are imperceptible to humans. To address this challenge, a range of techniques have been proposed to design more robust model architectures. However, previous research has primarily focused on identifying atomic structures that are more resilient, while our work focuses on adapting the model in two spatial dimensions: width and depth. In this paper, we present a multi-objective neural architecture search (NAS) method that searches for optimal widths for different layers in spatial dimensions, referred to as DW-Net. We also propose a novel adversarial sample generation technique for one-shot that enhances search space diversity and promotes search efficiency. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed optimal neural architecture outperforms state-of-the-art NAS-based networks widely used in the literature in terms of adversarial accuracy, under different adversarial attacks and for different-sized tasks.
