How Adversarial Robustness Transfers from Pre-training to Downstream Tasks
CoRR(2022)
Abstract
Given the rise of large-scale training regimes, adapting pre-trained models to a wide range of downstream tasks has become a standard approach in machine learning. While large benefits in empirical performance have been observed, it is not yet well understood how robustness properties transfer from a pre-trained model to a downstream task. We prove that the robustness of a predictor on downstream tasks can be bound by the robustness of its underlying representation, irrespective of the pre-training protocol. Taken together, our results precisely characterize what is required of the representation function for reliable performance upon deployment.
