Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Irregular Multi-Patch Adversarial Attack Based on Two-Phase Optimization
Open Source Code Yes Our source code is available at https://yangzh216.github.io/IMPACT.
Open Datasets Yes Following previous works [8, 43, 27], we use Image Net [9] for evaluation due to its diverse object categories and real-world scenarios, enabling a comprehensive assessment of our method s effectiveness. Additional experiments on more datasets are provided in Appendix E.5. Following the same setup as Patch-RS [8], we randomly select a subset of 500 images from the validation set of Image Net for our experiments. For the victim models, we employ three widely adopted architectures: Res Net50 [17], VGG16 [32], and Vi T-B [11]. These models encompass diverse architectural designs, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of IMPACT s effectiveness across varying network architectures. All input images are resized to a standard size of 224 224, consistent with the requirements of the experimented models. The models are officially pre-trained on the full Image Net training set, ensuring a robust and reliable baseline for evaluation. All experiments were conducted on a system equipped with an NVIDIA Ge Force RTX 4090 GPU. The detail parameter settings are provided in Appendix E.1.
Dataset Splits Yes Following the same setup as Patch-RS [8], we randomly select a subset of 500 images from the validation set of Image Net for our experiments.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments were conducted on a system equipped with an NVIDIA Ge Force RTX 4090 GPU.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not explicitly mention specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes The detail parameter settings are provided in Appendix E.1. Black-box Comparison: We evaluate IMPACT under different perturbation areas, with parameters n = 32, 64 controlling perturbation areas of 1% and 2%, respectively. The remaining parameters of IMPACT are set as follows: k = 3, N = 50, Td = 150, and Te = 2500.
