Adversarial frontier stitching for remote neural network watermarking

Résumé

The state of the art performance of deep learning models comes at a high cost for companies and institutions, due to the tedious data collection and the heavy processing requirements. Recently, Uchida et al. (2017) proposed to watermark con-volutional neural networks by embedding information into their weights. While this is a clear progress towards model protection, this technique solely allows for extracting the watermark from a network that one accesses locally and entirely. This is a clear impediment, as leaked models can be re-used privately, and thus not released publicly for ownership inspection. Instead, we aim at allowing the extraction of the watermark from a neural network (or any other machine learning model) that is operated remotely, and available through a service API. To this end, we propose to operate on the model's action itself , tweaking slightly its decision frontiers so that a set of specific queries convey the desired information. In present paper, we formally introduce the problem and propose a novel zero-bit watermarking algorithm that makes use of adversarial model examples (called adversaries for short). While limiting the loss of performance of the protected model, this algorithm allows subsequent extraction of the watermark using only few remote queries. We experiment this approach on the MNIST dataset with three types of neural networks, demonstrating that e.g., watermarking with 100 images incurs a slight accuracy degradation, while being resilient to most removal attacks.
