Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are susceptible to model stealing attacks, which allows a data-limited adversary with no knowledge of the training dataset to clone the functionality of a target model, just by using black-box query access. Such attacks are typically carried out by querying the target model using inputs that are synthetically generated or sampled from a surrogate dataset to construct a labeled dataset. The adversary can use this labeled dataset to train a clone model, which achieves a classification accuracy comparable to that of the target model. We propose "Adaptive Misinformation" to defend against such model stealing attacks. We identify that all existing model stealing attacks invariably query the target model with Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) inputs. By selectively sending incorrect predictions for OOD queries, our defense substantially degrades the accuracy of the attacker's clone model (by up to 40%), while minimally impacting the accuracy (\textbackslashtextless; 0.5%) for benign users. Compared to existing defenses, our defense has a significantly better security vs accuracy trade-off and incurs minimal computational overhead.

Hyperspectral image (HSIs) with abundant spectral information but limited labeled dataset endows the rationality and necessity of semi-supervised spectral-based classification methods. Where, the utilizing approach of spectral information is significant to classification accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised method based on generative adversarial network (GAN) with folded spectrum (FS-GAN). Specifically, the original spectral vector is folded to 2D square spectrum as input of GAN, which can generate spectral texture and provide larger receptive field over both adjacent and non-adjacent spectral bands for deep feature extraction. The generated fake folded spectrum, the labeled and unlabeled real folded spectrum are then fed to the discriminator for semi-supervised learning. A feature matching strategy is applied to prevent model collapse. Extensive experimental comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
