Is current research on adversarial robustness addressing the right problem?. (arXiv:2208.00539v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

Short answer: Yes, Long answer: No! Indeed, research on adversarial
robustness has led to invaluable insights helping us understand and explore
different aspects of the problem. Many attacks and defenses have been proposed
over the last couple of years. The problem, however, remains largely unsolved
and poorly understood. Here, I argue that the current formulation of the
problem serves short term goals, and needs to be revised for us to achieve
bigger gains. Specifically, the bound on perturbation has created …
