• TL;DR: Training your model with the Conditional Entropy Bottleneck is easy and makes your model more robust.
• Abstract: We demonstrate that the Conditional Entropy Bottleneck (CEB) can improve model robustness. CEB is an easy strategy to implement and works in tandem with data augmentation procedures. We report results of a large scale adversarial robustness study on CIFAR-10, as well as the IMAGENET-C Common Corruptions Benchmark.
