Provable Certificates for Adversarial Examples: Fitting a Ball in the Union of Polytopes

This talk will cover the theory and operation of a geometrically inspired method for certifying the robustness of Piecewise Linear Neural Networks to adversarial attacks. Specifically, the problem of interest is to find the largest sized lp ball around an input image x0 such that the output class of the network within this region remains unchanged. In the case of PLNNs, it can be shown that this problem amounts to finding the largest, centered lp ball which fits within a union of polytopes. Additionally, it can be shown that these polytopes are members of a polyhedral complex and thus finding such a largest sized ball within their union can be done in time polynomial in the relevant dimensions.
