## Line Charts: Performance Comparison of Backdoor Attacks and Defenses
### Overview
The image presents six line charts, arranged in a 2x3 grid, comparing the performance of different backdoor attack and defense strategies. The charts plot HIT@5 (Hit Rate at 5) against varying attack strengths (represented by values 1.0, 0.9, 0.7, and 0.5, with "0.7 (Default)" also indicated on the x-axis). The strategies being compared are BL<sub>I</sub>, BL<sub>II</sub>, ROAR<sub>I</sub><sub>p</sub>, and ROAR<sub>CD</sub>. Each chart focuses on a specific scenario: Backdoor-Vulnerability, Backdoor-Diagnosis, Backdoor-Commonsense (Freebase), Targeted-Vulnerability, Targeted-Diagnosis, and Targeted-Commonsense (Freebase).
### Components/Axes

### Key Observations
* Generally, as the attack strength decreases (moving from x=1.0 to x=0.3), the HIT@5 score decreases for all strategies.
* BL<sub>I</sub> and BL<sub>II</sub> consistently outperform ROAR<sub>I</sub><sub>p</sub> and ROAR<sub>CD</sub> across all scenarios.
* ROAR<sub>CD</sub> consistently exhibits the lowest HIT@5 scores, indicating its limited effectiveness.
* The performance difference between BL<sub>I</sub> and BL<sub>II</sub> is relatively small.
* The "Default" attack strength (0.7) often shows a noticeable drop in performance compared to the stronger attack strength (0.9 or 1.0).
### Interpretation
The data suggests that the BL (Baseline) strategies are more robust against both backdoor and targeted attacks compared to the ROAR strategies. The ROAR strategies, particularly ROAR<sub>CD</sub>, demonstrate significantly lower performance, indicating their vulnerability to these attacks. The decreasing HIT@5 scores with decreasing attack strength suggest that the defenses become less effective as the attack becomes more subtle. The "Default" attack strength (0.7) appears to be a critical point where performance drops, potentially indicating a threshold where the defenses struggle to detect the attack. The consistent performance of BL<sub>I</sub> and BL<sub>II</sub> suggests that the second baseline strategy does not offer a substantial improvement over the first. These results highlight the need for more effective defense mechanisms against backdoor attacks, especially in scenarios involving commonsense reasoning (Freebase). The charts provide a comparative analysis of different strategies, allowing for informed decision-making regarding the selection of appropriate defenses based on the specific attack scenario and desired level of security.
