Adversarial Machine Learning (AML) refers to the study of the robustness of classification models when processing data samples that have been intelligently manipulated to confuse them. Procedures aimed at furnishing such confusing samples exploit concrete vulnerabilities of the learning algorithm of the model at hand, by which perturbations can make a given data instance to be misclassified. In this context, the literature has so far gravitated on different AML strategies to modify data instances for diverse learning algorithms, in most cases for image classification. This work builds upon this background literature to address AML for distance based time series classifiers (e.g., nearest neighbors), in which attacks (i.e. modifications of the samples to be classified by the model) must be intelligently devised by taking into account the measure of similarity used to compare time series. In particular, we propose …
