Deep learning models loosely mimic bottom-up signal pathways from low-order sensory areas to high-order cognitive areas. After training, DL models can outperform humans on some domain-specific tasks, but their decision-making process has been known to be easily disrupted. Since the human brain consists of multiple functional areas highly connected to one another and relies on intricate interplays between bottom-up and top-down (from high-order to low-order areas) processing, we hypothesize that incorporating top-down signal processing may make DL models more robust. To address this hypothesis, we propose a certification process mimicking selective attention and test if it could make DL models more robust. Our empirical evaluations suggest that this newly proposed certification can improve DL models' accuracy and help us build safety measures to alleviate their vulnerabilities with both artificial and natural adversarial examples.

深度学习模型与人类决策过程相似，但其决策过程易受干扰。我们提出了一种新的注证过程，通过模拟选择性注意力来增强深度学习模型的鲁棒性。实证评估表明，这种新的注证过程可以提高深度学习模型的准确性，并帮助我们建立安全措施以减轻其在人工和自然对抗样本方面的脆弱性。
