Familiarity-Based Open-Set Recognition Under Adversarial Attacks

Open-set recognition (OSR), the identification of novel categories, can be a
critical component when deploying classification models in real-world
applications. Recent work has shown that familiarity-based scoring rules such
as the Maximum Softmax Probability (MSP) or the Maximum Logit Score (MLS) are
strong baselines when the closed-set accuracy is high. However, one of the
potential weaknesses of familiarity-based OSR are adversarial attacks. Here, we
present gradient-based adversarial attacks on familiarity scores for both types
of attacks, False Familiarity and False Novelty attacks, and evaluate their
effectiveness in informed and uninformed settings on TinyImageNet.
