In this paper, we focus on the adversarial attacks that fool deep learning models by modifying the combinatorial structure of data. We first propose a reinforcement learning based attack method that learns the generalizable attack policy, while only requiring prediction labels from the target classifier. We further propose attack methods based on genetic algorithms and gradient descent in the scenario where additional prediction confidence or gradients are available. We use both synthetic and real-world data to show that, a family of Graph Neural Network models are vulnerable to these attacks, in both graph-level and node-level classification tasks. We also show such attacks can be used to diagnose the learned classifiers.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.cc.gatech.edu\/~hdai8\/\u0022\u003EHanjun Dai\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a fifth-year Ph.D. student at Georgia Institute of Technology, whose advisor is Prof. Le Song. His research mainly focuses on deep learning for structured data, reinforcement learning, and its applications in chemistry, bioinformatics, social network, programming, and natural language. He has also extended his research work through several internships in Amazon AI, OpenAI and DeepMind. His work has won several best paper awards, including AISTATS 2016, and Recsys Workshop on Deep Learning for Recommender Systems 2016 and NIPS 2017 Workshop on Machine Learning for Molecules and Materials.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOn Friday, March 15th\u0026nbsp;guest speaker, and Ph.D. Student at Georgia Tech College of Computing, Hanjun Dai will discuss the adversarial attacks that fool deep learning models by modifying the combinatorial structure of data.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Free, open-to-the public discussion about cybersecurity risks, trends, and techniques."}],"uid":"34659","created_gmt":"2019-03-04 20:40:16","changed_gmt":"2019-03-04 20:41:26","author":"lpanetta3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-03-15T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-03-15T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-03-15T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-03-15 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-03-15 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-03-15 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"618769":{"id":"618769","type":"image","title":"Hanjun Dai","body":null,"created":"1551731165","gmt_created":"2019-03-04 20:26:05","changed":"1551731165","gmt_changed":"2019-03-04 20:26:05","alt":"","file":{"fid":"235545","name":"me2 - Hanjun Dai.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/me2%20-%20Hanjun%20Dai.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/me2%20-%20Hanjun%20Dai.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":15173,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/me2%20-%20Hanjun%20Dai.jpg?itok=4L76ZVie"}},"593723":{"id":"593723","type":"image","title":"Cybersecurity Lecture Series by IISP","body":null,"created":"1500996186","gmt_created":"2017-07-25 15:23:06","changed":"1500996186","gmt_changed":"2017-07-25 15:23:06","alt":"","file":{"fid":"226333","name":"CLS_logo_FY18 w tag.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/CLS_logo_FY18%20w%20tag.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/CLS_logo_FY18%20w%20tag.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":580256,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/CLS_logo_FY18%20w%20tag.jpg?itok=8s4XWw-w"}}},"media_ids":["618769","593723"],"groups":[],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"180538","name":"Ron Gula"},{"id":"1404","name":"Cybersecurity"},{"id":"180539","name":"Gula Tech Adventures"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:lindsey.panetta@gtri.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Elindsey.panetta@gtri.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
