DeepSloth: Researchers find denial-of-service equivalent against deep learning systems

A new adversarial attack developed by scientists at the University of Maryland, College Park, can force machine learning systems to slow to a crawl, taxing servers and possibly causing critical failures in some applications.

Presented at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), the technique neutralizes optimization techniques that speed up the operation of deep neural networks.
