Abstract: Systems and methods for gradient adversarial training of a neural network are disclosed. In one aspect of gradient adversarial training, an auxiliary neural network can be trained to classify a gradient tensor that is evaluated during backpropagation in a main neural network that provides a desired task output.

Gradient adversarial training of the neural network can provide improved gradient tensors in the main network. Gradient adversarial techniques can be used to train multitask networks, knowledge distillation networks, and adversarial defense networks.
