Machine learning model robustness characterization

Description: Robustness of a machine learning model can be characterized by receiving a file with a known, first classification by the machine learning model. Thereafter, a selection is made as to which of a plurality of perturbation algorithms to use to modify the file. The perturbation algorithm is selected as to provide a shortest sequence of actions to cause the machine learning model to provide a desired classification. Subsequently, the received file is iteratively modified using the selected perturbation algorithm and inputting the corresponding modified file into the machine learning model until the machine learning model outputs a known, second classification. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
