Subsequently, a new example handling method is designed, which reduces the robustness learning intensity for A-C samples and enhances the robustness learning intensity for R-C samples (through adaptive λ or step size). This method is applied to both multi-step (TRADES, TEAT, etc.) and single-step (FastAT, GradAlign, etc.) adversarial training. Experiments show that it can simultaneously alleviate the accuracy-robustness trade-off, robustness overfitting, and catastrophic overfitting issues.
