GeoDetect: Geometric Adversarial Detection for VLPs
Vision-language pre-trained models (VLPs) are widely used in real-world applications. However, they remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Although adversarial detection methods have demonstrated success in single-modality settings (either vision or language), their effectiveness and reliability in multimodal models such as VLPs remain largely unexplored. In this work, we study the geometry of VLP embedding spaces and observe structured anisotropy that differs from unimodal vision models. Our theoretical analysis shows that under this anisotropic structure, adversarial attacks increase the expected geometric separation between clean and adversarial examples (AEs). Specifically, we demo...
