Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Extensive experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10, Celeb A, and Image Net against different models including a real-world face recognition API show that PSBA-PGAN significantly outperforms existing baseline attacks in terms of query efficiency and attack success rate.

Pseudocode Yes Detailed pseudocode can be found in Appendix D.4.
Open Source Code Yes The code is publicly available at https://github.com/ AI-secure/PSBA.
Open Datasets Yes Extensive experiments on MNIST (Le Cun et al., 1998), CIFAR-10 (Krizhevsky et al., 2009), Celeb A (Liu et al., 2015), and Image Net (Deng et al., 2009) against different models including a real-world face recognition API show that PSBA-PGAN significantly outperforms existing baseline attacks in terms of query efficiency and attack success rate.
Dataset Splits Yes We select the optimal scale for projection subspace based on a validation set. ... use an additional validation set of ten images to search for the optimal scale.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory amounts) used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions PyTorch (PyTorch. Torchvision.models. https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/torchvision/models.html, 2020) but does not specify its version or any other software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes The PGAN training details could be found in Appendix D.2 and reference models performance are shown in Appendix D.3. For simplicity, we will denote PGAN28 as the attack using the output of PGAN with scale 28 × 28.
