contents With much longer optimization time than that of untargeted attacks notwithstanding, the transferability of targeted attacks is still far from satisfactory. Recent studies reveal that fine-tuning an existing adversarial example (AE) in feature space can efficiently boost its targeted transferability. However, existing fine-tuning schemes only utilize the endpoint and ignore the valuable information in the fine-tuning trajectory. Noting that the vanilla fine-tuning trajectory tends to oscillate around the periphery of a flat region of the loss surface, we propose averaging over the fine-tuning trajectory to pull the crafted AE towards a more centered region. We compare the proposed method with existing fine-tuning schemes by integrating them with state-of-the-art targeted attacks in various attacking scenarios. Experimental results uphold the superiority of the proposed method in boosting targeted transferability. The code is available at github.com/zengh5/Avg_FT.
