# RobustGenBench
**A standardized benchmark for robust generalization of image classifiers across common and adversarial ($\\ell_1, \\ell_2, \\ell_\\infty$) perturbations.**
📄 Paper · 💻 [Code](https://github.com/legolasflagstaff/robust_training) · 📜 [Citation](#citation)
RobustGenBench evaluates how well a classifier keeps its accuracy on perturbation types it was not trained against. It provides six downstream classification datasets with fixed splits at 224×224 resolution, together with perturbed copies of every test set:
- **Common corruptions** (11 types, severity 3): model-independent, the same images for every model.
- **Random uniform noise** ($\\ell_\\infty \\le 30/255$): a control for the adversarial perturbations.
- **Transfer adversarial perturbations** ({n_adv:,} images): crafted with AutoAttack on 5 open-weight vision-language surrogates, across 7 budgets in $\\ell_1$, $\\ell_2$, $\\ell_\\infty$.
Because the adversarial images are pre-computed, any model, including API-only systems such as vision-enabled LLMs, can be evaluated **by inference alone**, without GPU access. For white-box evaluation, attack your own model on the clean `test` split.
In total: {n_test:,} clean test images and {n_pert:,} perturbed test images.
## Quick start
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# One config per dataset; one split per perturbation setting.
clean = load_dataset("legolasflagstaff/RobustGenBench", "uc-merced-land-use-dataset", split="test")
adv = load_dataset("legolasflagstaff/RobustGenBench", "uc-merced-land-use-dataset", split="clip_vith14_linf_30")
row = adv[0]
row["image"] # PIL.Image, 224×224 RGB
adv.features["label"].int2str(row["label"]) # class name
row["image_id"] # aligns with the clean image of the same id
```
Evaluate a classifier on every perturbation setting of one dataset:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset, get_dataset_split_names
repo, cfg = "legolasflagstaff/RobustGenBench", "flowers-102"
for split in get_dataset_split_names(repo, cfg):
if split in ("train", "validation"):
continue
ds = load_dataset(repo, cfg, split=split)
acc = sum(predict(x["image"]) == x["label"] for x in ds) / len(ds) # your model here
print(f"{{split:24s}} {{acc:.3f}}")
```
Splits are aligned by `image_id`: row *i* of every perturbed split is a perturbed version of row *i* of `test`, with the same label.
## Datasets
| Config | Dataset | Domain | Granularity | Classes | Train | Validation | Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
{ds_rows}
Test sets are standardized to at most 1,000 images by uniform sampling, preserving all classes. All images are resized to 224×224×3 and stored as lossless PNG.
## Splits
Each config (dataset) contains the following splits.
| Split | Content |
|---|---|
| `train`, `validation` | Clean images, for fine-tuning. |
| `test` | Clean test images, the reference for all perturbed splits. |
| `common` | Each test image with one of 11 common corruptions at severity 3 (column `corruption`). |
| `random_linf_30` | Uniform random noise with $\\lVert\\delta\\rVert_\\infty \\le 30/255$. |
| `<surrogate>_<norm>_<eps>` | Transfer adversarial images, e.g. `clip_vitb16_linf_30`, `metaclip_vith14_l1_300`. |
### Common corruptions
Shot noise, impulse noise, defocus blur, motion blur, zoom blur, snow, brightness, contrast, elastic transform, pixelate, JPEG compression, all at severity 3 of the ImageNet-C scale. Test image *i* receives corruption *i* mod 11; the assignment is deterministic, so every model is evaluated on identical (image, corruption) pairs.
### Adversarial perturbations
Perturbations are crafted with the standard AutoAttack ensemble (APGD-CE, APGD-T, FAB-T, Square) against zero-shot surrogate classifiers. Each surrogate predicts the class whose text embedding (`"a photo of a {{class}}"`) is closest to the image embedding. AutoAttack only perturbs images the surrogate classifies correctly; other images are copied unchanged (`is_modified = false`).
| Norm | Budgets $\\epsilon$ | Split suffix |
|---|---|---|
| $\\ell_1$ | 75, 300 | `l1_75`, `l1_300` |
| $\\ell_2$ | 2, 8 | `l2_2`, `l2_8` |
| $\\ell_\\infty$ | 4/255, 8/255, 30/255 | `linf_4`, `linf_8`, `linf_30` |
Budgets are expressed on pixel values in $[0, 1]$; the `epsilon` column stores the exact value (e.g. 0.1176 for 30/255).
| Surrogate prefix | Model | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
{surr_rows}
### Coverage
SigLIP-family surrogates classify the fine-grained datasets poorly, and a surrogate that misclassifies the clean image provides no attack signal. SigLIP2 SO400M is therefore provided on the three coarse-grained datasets only. SigLIP2 base is provided at $\\ell_\\infty$ 30/255 only; on the fine-grained datasets it leaves most images unmodified (see `is_modified`).

## Data fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `image` | image | 224×224 RGB PNG. |
| `label` | class label | Ground-truth class (use `features["label"].names` for names). |
| `image_id` | int32 | Index of the source image within its split; aligns perturbed splits with `test`. |
| `perturbation` | string | `clean`, `common_corruption_severity3`, `random_uniform`, or `transfer_autoattack`. |
| `surrogate` | string | Surrogate used to craft the attack (null otherwise). |
| `norm` | string | `l1`, `l2`, or `linf` (null for clean and common). |
| `epsilon` | float32 | Perturbation budget (null for clean and common). |
| `corruption` | string | Common corruption applied (`common` split only). |
| `is_modified` | bool | Whether the image differs from its clean counterpart. |
## Evaluation protocol
RobustGenBench reports accuracy per (dataset, perturbation setting), aggregated with:
- **Sum score**: sum of accuracies over all (dataset, setting) pairs. Pool-independent; use it to compare new models with published results.
- **Borda score**: rank-based consistency across pairs, only meaningful within a fixed pool of models.
The paper uses two sets of settings:
- **Fine-tuned vision models (5 settings):** `test`, `common`, and white-box AutoAttack on the evaluated model at $\\ell_1 = 75$, $\\ell_2 = 2$, $\\ell_\\infty = 4/255$, crafted from the clean `test` split. Maximum sum score: 30.
- **Black-box models, e.g. vision-enabled LLMs (9 settings):** `test`, `common`, and the 7 transfer budgets, taking the strongest surrogate per dataset and setting.
## Intended use and limitations
**Intended use:** held-out evaluation of the robustness of image classifiers, fine-tuned or zero-shot, including API-only models. Do not train on the test or perturbed splits.
**Limitations**
- Transfer attacks give an upper bound on robust accuracy. They are not a substitute for white-box or adaptive attacks when model access is available.
- All surrogates are attention-based, so transfer to convolutional targets is weaker.
- Budgets are not matched across norms; compare norms only at the intensities provided.
- Common corruptions are evaluated at a single severity.
- Coverage is limited to six source taxonomies; results do not imply robustness on open-world imagery.
**Biases.** The source datasets inherit the biases of their collection, for example Western car models (Stanford Cars) and breeds common in the UK (Oxford-IIIT Pet). Some images may incidentally show people or license plates; no additional anonymization was performed.
