An illustration of two types of adversarial attacks on breast imaging diagnosis. Adversarial noise applied in white-box attacks and adversarial samples produced by generative adversarial networks in black-box attacks can fool a deep learning diagnostic model to give wrong output, according to University of Pittsburgh researchers. The researchers have proposed two security schemes, called ARFL and LIDA, to make the models robust and resilient to adversarial attacks.
