Don't Lag, RAG: Training-Free Adversarial Detection Using RAG

Roie Kazoom, Raz Lapid, Moshe Sipper, Ofer Hadar·April 07, 2025

Summary

VRAG, a training-free framework, leverages VLMs for adversarial attack detection. It retrieves similar patches and images, achieving 95% accuracy with open-source models, setting a new benchmark. It efficiently identifies various adversarial patches with minimal human input, offering robust defense against evolving attacks. A study demonstrated that using simple instructional prompts with contextual examples increased accuracy to 98.00%. Larger few-shot contexts improved model alignment, with UI-TARS-72B-DPO outperforming Qwen-based models and nearing Gemini-2.0's accuracy.
