Abstract

Image classification models are vulnerable to data-poisoning backdoor attacks, and existing poisoned sample detection methods still suffer from insufficient stability under stealthy-trigger and weak-trigger scenarios. This paper proposed a backdoor poisoned sample detection method based on decoupled training and perturbation behavior discrimination to address this problem. The method used high-confidence incorrect-label perturbation and Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence constraint to enhance the discriminative difference between clean and poisoned samples. Then, the method used a Gaussian mixture model to locate suspicious target classes. The method further combined prediction consistency, target-class confidence, and entropy under slight adversarial perturbation to construct a joint discrimination criterion. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10 and GTSRB datasets showed that the proposed method improved the detection rate by 0.28 and 0.34 percentage points, respectively, compared with the confusion training (CT) method. The method reduced the false positive rates of clean samples to below 1.9% on both datasets. The results show that the proposed method can improve the accuracy and stability of backdoor poisoned sample detection.
