Abstract : Adversarial attack algorithms are dominated by penalty methods, which are slow in practice, or more efficient distance-customized methods, which are heavily tailored to the properties of the considered distance. We propose a white-box attack algorithm to generate minimally perturbed adversarial examples based on Augmented Lagrangian principles. We bring several algorithmic modifications, which have a crucial effect on performance. Our attack enjoys the generality of penalty methods and the computational efficiency of distance-customized algorithms, and can be readily used for a wide set of distances. We compare our attack to state-of-the-art methods on three datasets and several models, and consistently obtain competitive performances with similar or lower computational complexity.
