  bibo_abstract:
  - Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to small adversarial perturbations,
    which are tiny changes to the input data that appear insignificant but cause the
    model to produce drastically different outputs. Many defense methods require modifying
    model architectures during evaluation or performing test-time data purification.
    This not only introduces additional complexity but is often architecture-dependent.
    We show, however, that robust feature learning during training can significantly
    enhance DNN robustness. We propose MOREL, a multi-objective approach that aligns
    natural and adversarial features using cosine similarity and multi-positive contrastive
    losses to encourage similar features for same-class inputs. Extensive experiments
    demonstrate that MOREL significantly improves robustness against both white-box
    and black-box attacks. Our code is available at https://github.com/salomonhotegni/MOREL.@eng
