将灾难性过拟合解释为隐蔽后门机制，提出针对性缓解方法。

Fast Adversarial Training (FAT) has attracted significant attention due to its efficiency in enhancing neural network robustness against adversarial attacks. However, FAT is prone to catastrophic overfitting (CO), wherein models overfit to the specific attack used during training and fail to generalize to others. While existing methods introduce diverse hypotheses and propose various strategies to mitigate CO, a systematic and intuitive explanation of CO remains absent. In this work, we innovatively interpret CO through the lens of backdoor. Through validations on pathway division, diverse feature predictions, and universal class distinguishable triggers in CO, we conceptualize CO as a weak trigger variant of unlearnable tasks, unifying CO, backdoor attacks, and unlearnable tasks under a common theoretical framework. Guided by this, we leverage several backdoor inspired strategies to mitigate CO: (i) Recalibrate CO affected model parameters using vanilla fine tuning, linear probing, or reinitialization-based techniques; (ii) Introduce a weight outlier suppression constraint to regulate abnormal deviations in model weights. Extensive experiments support our interpretation of CO and show the efficacy of the proposed mitigation strategies.
