Why is this noisy data generated?

This script generates noisy data? https://github.com/jayaram-r/adversarial-detection/blob/master/expts/generate_noisy_data.py

Why is this done? For which defenses is that useful?

[jayaram-r]

It is used by the 'deep mahalanobis' and 'local intrinsic dimensionality' based defense methods. See this script detection_main.py on the following lines: 470 and 611.

[jayaram-r]

The script generate_noisy_data.py has to be run prior to running the defense methods in order to generate the noisy data.
