Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Our frame-correlation transfers dramatically speed up the attack generation compared to existing methods, often significantly reducing the required computation time; thus, shedding light on the real threat of real-time attacks in RL. Last but not the least, to alleviate the vulnerability issue of DRL, in Chapter \ref{chapter:A2PD}, we propose an adversary agnostic defense approach in order to increase the robustness of existed DRL policies. …”
