  • 用预激活谱建模正常微调的演化规律,作为参考基准。
  • 单次更新后检测准确率超越现有方法,且无需触发或污染数据信息。
  • 对多步良性演化仍有效,性能衰减平缓,适合实际部署。

现代深度神经网络常通过多次微调融入新数据与功能,但若更新数据不可信,攻击者可能在微调过程中植入后门。本文提出MIST,通过分析模型内部表征在微调过程中的变化来检测后门。MIST不尝试重构触发条件,而是利用预激活谱刻画良性模型演化的基准,并标记谱偏离该基准的更新。将后门检测建模为模型更新上的回归问题。在四个数据集和八种后门攻击上的实验证明,谱距离能可靠区分受控微调与正常微调。MIST在单次更新后即优于现有最优检测方法,无需了解被污染数据或触发模式,在多步良性演化下依然有效,性能退化平稳可控。结果表明,谱演化提供了稳定且假设少的恶意更新检测信号。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern DNNs are repeatedly fine-tuned to incorporate new data and functionality. This evolutionary workflow introduces a security risk when updated data cannot be fully trusted, as adversaries may implant Trojans during fine-tuning. We present MIST, a Trojan detection approach that analyzes how a model's internal representations change during fine-tuning. Rather than attempting to reconstruct trigger conditions, MIST characterizes benign model evolution using pre-activation spectra and flags updates whose spectral deviations are inconsistent with this reference. This framing treats Trojan detection as a regression problem over model updates. An empirical evaluation across four datasets and eight Trojan attacks shows that spectral distances reliably distinguish Trojaned updates from clean fine-tuning. MIST outperforms state-of-the-art detection accuracy after a single update, without requiring any knowledge about the poisoned data or the trigger, and remains effective under multi-step benign evolution, with graceful and bounded degradation. These results indicate that spectral evolution provides a stable and assumption-light signal for detecting malicious model updates.
