Boosting Adversarial Robustness using Feature Level Stochastic Smoothing

Advances in adversarial defenses have led to a significant improvement in the robustness of Deep Neural Networks. However, the robust accuracy of present state-of-the-art defenses is far from the requirements in critical applications such as robotics and autonomous navigation systems. Further, in practical use cases, network prediction alone might not suffice, and assignment of a confidence value ...
