Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Patch-wise Adversarial Removal
Open Source Code No The paper's main text does not contain a specific URL for the source code or an explicit statement indicating its public release or inclusion in supplementary materials.
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments on three image classification datasets: Image Net-21k [26], ILSVRC-2012 [27], and Tiny-Imagenet [28].
Dataset Splits No We pick 10000 images from the validation sets of Image Net-21k and ILSVRC-2012 that can be correctly classified by all target models for test. As for Tiny-Imagenet with 200 image categories, we choose 2000 images, 10 images for each category.
Hardware Specification Yes 4 RTX 3090 GPU cards are used for calculation.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions "Pytorch image models" with a GitHub link, but does not provide specific version numbers for PyTorch or other software dependencies used in the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes Stepsizes of spherical direction and source direction are δ0 = 0.1, ε0 = 0.003 for Boundary, BBA, Evo and CAB. Noise magnitude limit τ = [0, 255]. The initial and minimum patch size for Image Net-21k and ILSVRC-2012 is set to 56 and 7, respectively. For Tiny-Imagenet, we set the initial and minimum patch size as 16 and 2, respectively.
