What ANP Does

ANP can easily repair backdoored deep models using limited clean data and limited computational resources. Only 500 clean images from CIFAR-10 and 2000 iterations are used in the displayed example.

Requisite

This code is implemented in PyTorch, and we have tested the code under the following environment settings:

• python = 3.7.3
• torch = 1.8.0
• torchvision = 0.9.0

A Quick Start - How to use it

For a detailed introduction, please refer to our recipe.

Step 1: Train a backdoored DNN

By default, we train a backdoored resnet-18 under badnets with 5% poison rate and class 0 as target label,

python train_backdoor_cifar.py --output-dir './save'

We save trained backdoored model and the trigger info as ./save/last_model.th and ./save/trigger_info.th. Some checkpoints have been released in Google drive or Baidu drive (pwd: bmrb).

Step 2: Optimize masks under neuron perturbations

We optimize the mask for each neuron under neuron perturbations, and save mask values in './save/mask_values.txt' . By default, we only use 500 clean data to optimize.

python optimize_mask_cifar.py --output-dir './save' --checkpoints './save/last_model.th' --trigger-info' './save/trigger_info.th'

Step 3: Prune neurons to defend

You can prune neurons by threshold,

python prune_neuron_cifar.py --output-dir './save' --mask-file './save/mask_values.txt' --checkpoints './save/last_model.th' --trigger-info' './save/trigger_info.th'
