Certified Robustness of Graph Classification against Topology Attack with Randomized Smoothing
share
Graph classification has practical applications in diverse fields. Recent studies show that graph-based machine learning models are especially vulnerable to adversarial perturbations due to the non i.i.d nature of graph data. By adding or deleting a small number of edges in the graph, adversaries could greatly change the graph label predicted by a graph classification model. In this work, we propose to build a smoothed graph classification model with certified robustness guarantee. We have proven that the resulting graph classification model would output the same prediction for a graph under l_0 bounded adversarial perturbation. We also evaluate the effectiveness of our approach under graph convolutional network (GCN) based multi-class graph classification model.
