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`). {chr(10).join(cov)} ## 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. ## License The perturbed images, splits, and metadata produced for RobustGenBench are released under **[CC BY-NC 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)**.
