Paper | Project page

1. Setup Environment

This code has been tested with Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.11.0 and Cuda 11.3.

conda create -n MI python=3.7

conda activate MI

pip install torch==1.11.0+cu113 torchvision==0.12.0+cu113 torchaudio==0.11.0 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Prepare Dataset & Checkpoints

• Dowload CelebA and FFHQ dataset at the official website.

• CelebA: download and extract the CelebA. Then, place the img_align_celeba folder to .\datasets\celeba

• FFHQ: download and extract the FFHQ. Then, place the thumbnails128x128 folder to .\datasets\ffhq

• Download meta data for the experiments at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kq4ArFiPmCWYKY7iiV0WxxUSXtP70bFQ?usp=sharing

• We use the same target models and GAN as previous papers. You can download target models and generator at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kq4ArFiPmCWYKY7iiV0WxxUSXtP70bFQ?usp=sharing

Otherwise, you can train the target classifier and GAN as follow:

2.1. Training the target classifier (Optional)

• Modify the configuration in .\config\celeba\classify.json
• Then, run the following command line to get the target model

  python train_classifier.py
  

2.2. Training GAN (Optional)

SOTA MI attacks work with a general GAN[1]. However, Inversion-Specific GANs[2] help improve the attack accuracy. In this repo, we provide codes for both training general GAN and Inversion-Specific GAN.

2.2.1. Build a inversion-specific GAN

• Modify the configuration in

  • ./config/celeba/training_GAN/specific_gan/celeba.json if training a Inversion-Specific GAN on CelebA (KEDMI[2]).
  • ./config/celeba/training_GAN/specific_gan/ffhq.json if training a Inversion-Specific GAN on FFHQ (KEDMI[2]).

• Then, run the following command line to get the Inversion-Specific GAN

  python train_gan.py --configs path/to/config.json --mode "specific"
  

2.2.2. Build a general GAN

• Modify the configuration in

  • ./config/celeba/training_GAN/general_gan/celeba.json if training a general GAN on CelebA (GMI[1]).
  • ./config/celeba/training_GAN/general_gan/ffhq.json if training a general GAN on FFHQ (GMI[1]).

• Then, run the following command line to get the General GAN

  python train_gan.py --configs path/to/config.json --mode "general"
  

3. Learn augmented models

We provide code to train augmented models (i.e., efficientnet_b0, efficientnet_b1, and efficientnet_b3) from a target model.

• Modify the configuration in

  • ./config/celeba/training_augmodel/celeba.json if training an augmented model on CelebA
  • ./config/celeba/training_augmodel/ffhq.json if training an augmented model on FFHQ

• Then, run the following command line to train augmented models

  python train_augmented_model.py --configs path/to/config.json
  

Pretrained augmented models and p_reg can be downloaded at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1kq4ArFiPmCWYKY7iiV0WxxUSXtP70bFQ

We remark that if you train augmented models, please do not use our p_reg. Delete files in ./p_reg/ before inversion. Our code will automatically estimate p_reg with new augmented models.

4. Model Inversion Attack

• Modify the configuration in

  • ./config/celeba/attacking/celeba.json if training an augmented model on CelebA
  • ./config/celeba/attacking/ffhq.json if training an augmented model on FFHQ

• Important arguments:

  • method: select the method either gmi or kedmi
  • variant select the variant either baseline, L_aug, L_logit, or ours

• Then, run the following command line to attack

  python recovery.py --configs path/to/config.json
  

5. Evaluation

After attack, use the same configuration file to run the following command line to get the result:\

python evaluation.py --configs path/to/config.json
