Tricking Neural Networks : Explore Adversarial Attacks

Shows concrete NLP and vision exploits: tiny character edits flip translations, swapped words flip sentiment, and pixel noise turns a cat into a dog. Attacks use gradient-guided maximization of loss on the input (white‑box) or query-based searches (score/decision black‑box). Demonstrates transferability across similarly trained transformer models, notes generation is compute‑expensive but a single success breaks systems. Defenses tried: input sanitization, paraphrasing, and adversarial training (most effective but can lower baseline accuracy).
