Latent Transfer Attack: Adversarial Examples via Generative Latent Spaces

ArXi:2603.06311v1 Announce Type: new Adversarial attacks are a central tool for probing the robustness of modern vision models, yet most methods optimize perturbations directly in pixel space under $\ell_\infty$ or $\ell_2$ constraints. While effective in white-box settings, pixel-space optimization often produces high-frequency, texture-like noise that is brittle to common preprocessing (e.g., resizing and cropping) and transfers poorly across architectures.
