This research addresses the critical challenge of maintaining data integrity in AI-driven testing environments where adversaries exploit generative models to corrupt results. By formulating optimal re-testing strategies through dynamic programming, the study provides a robust framework for distinguishing genuine metrics from AI-facilitated cheating attempts. The work is essential for securing high-stakes evaluation systems against increasingly sophisticated adversarial attacks.
Optimal Adversarial Testing: Extracting Honest Test Results from Dishonest Test Takers
arXiv:2608.28362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In applications, it is often required to test objects or people to determine their qualities in terms of certain metrics. However, besides being naturally noisy, the test results can be corrupted by adversarial behaviors of objects or people being tested (test takers). For example, dishonest test takers can cheat in the exams to distort the test results. With the development of AI technologies, such distortions driven by cheating using AI technologies are becoming more commonplace and severe. In this paper, we propose optimal testing strategies which can still recover needed test results even if there are cheaters polluting the results. The proposed testing strategies will optimally re-test selected group of test takers using different testing security measures. We determine the optimal testing strategies using a dynamic programming method.
