Robust CurveMoE: Multi-Norm Adversarial Defense for Mixture-of-Experts Models via Mode Connectivity
Multi-norm adversarial defense aims to protect neural networks against perturbations defined by different norm constraints, but existing methods typically optimize competing robustness objectives within a single parameter configuration, leading to substantial training cost and unfavorable robustness trade-offs. We propose Robust CurveMoE, an efficient mixture-of-experts framework that connects models specialized for different perturbation norms through a low-loss path and exploits the complementary robustness profiles of models along this path. Robust CurveMoE derives clean and norm-specialized experts from robustness-constrained curve locations and selectively expertizes only influential...
