Adversarial examples are carefully crafted attack points that are supposed to fool machine learning classifiers. In the last years, the field of adversarial machine learning, especially the study of perturbation-based adversarial examples, in which a perturbation that is not perceptible for humans is added to the images, has been studied extensively. Adversarial training can be used to achieve robustness against such inputs. Another type of adversarial examples are invariance-based adversarial examples, where the images are semantically modified such that the predicted class of the model does not change, but the class that is determined by humans does. How to ensure robustness against this type of adversarial examples has not been explored yet. This work addresses the impact of adversarial training with invariance-based adversarial examples on a convolutional neural network (CNN). We show that when adversarial training with invariance-based and perturbation-based adversarial examples is applied, it should be conducted simultaneously and not consecutively. This procedure can achieve relatively high robustness against both types of adversarial examples. Additionally, we find that the algorithm used for generating invariance-based adversarial examples in prior work does not correctly determine the labels and therefore we use human-determined labels.
