Robust Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining against Adversarial Attacks
Authors:Wenhan Yang, Baharan Mirzasoleiman
Contrastive vision-language representation learning has achieved state-of-the-art performance for zero-shot classification, by learning from millions of image-caption pairs crawled from the internet. However, the massive data that powers large multimodal models such as CLIP, makes them extremely vulnerable to various types of adversarial attacks, including targeted and backdoor data poisoning attacks. Despite this vulnerability, robust contrastive vision-language pretraining against adversarial attacks has remained unaddressed. In this work, we propose RoCLIP, the first effective method for robust pretraining {and fine-tuning} multimodal vision-language models. RoCLIP effectively breaks the association between poisoned image-caption pairs by considering a pool of random examples, and (1) matching every image with the text that is most similar to its caption in the pool, and (2) matching every caption with the image that is most similar to its image in the pool. Our extensive experiments show that our method renders state-of-the-art targeted data poisoning and backdoor attacks ineffective during pre-training or fine-tuning of CLIP. In particular, RoCLIP decreases the poison and backdoor attack success rates down to 0\% during pre-training and 1\%-4\% during fine-tuning, and effectively improves the model’s performance.
