Recent studies emphasize the importance of optimizing Data Augmentation (DA) parameters along with AN, which poses a greater threat to real-world AI applications. However, existing DA-based strategies often struggle to find optimal solutions due to the challenging DA search procedure without proper guidance. In this work, we propose a novel DA-based attack algorithm, GADT. GADT identifies suitable DA parameters through iterative antagonism and uses posterior estimates to update AN based on these parameters. We uniquely employ a differentiable DA operation library to identify adversarial DA parameters and introduce a new loss function as a metric during DA optimization.
