Data Poisoning

STANDARD DEFINITION · CACHED

is a type of in which a malicious actor injects manipulated data into, or modifies existing data within, a to compromise a model’s performance or integrity. Objectives include indiscriminate performance degradation through , , and the creation of a that causes attacker-chosen behavior when specific triggers appear during . Other integrity failures can include systematically biased or otherwise manipulated outputs. Poisoning influences what a model learns during or , potentially undermining the of models, including systems and . This threat is particularly concerning in systems and environments when training data comes from untrusted contributors.
