Abstract

Collaborative inference combines diverse features contributed by various agents to improve prediction accuracy. However, it is vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where attackers manipulate the model's predictions through non-consensual inputs. Since each participant operates within their unique feature space, defending against these attacks becomes particularly challenging. A recent study demonstrated that using an auto-encoder based on the underlying manifold can reduce the impact of malicious participants. However, our experiments observed that the recently proposed attack, in which malicious influences close to the manifold, may still pose a threat. To address this issue, we introduce a novel approach that leverages implicit redundancy across participants' feature spaces during the inference stage via participant-wise anomaly detection. We evaluate this approach on CIFAR10, CINIC10, Imagenette, Give-Me-Some-Credit, and Bank Marketing datasets. Extensive experiments and ablation studies show that RIP effectively mitigates adversarial attacks in the collaborative inference stage.
