  • forward affine:
    • calls to get_affine_representation must be called on linear_block => we add an optional arg layer to it.
    • call_forward(): instead of overwritting it (and duplicating most of the code from DecomonLayer), we add a flag skip_forward_oracle to postpone the computation of constant bounds to after propagating through the linear block. And thus pass perturbation_domain_inputs to forward_affine_propagate. (we also take the best bounds among ibp and affine ones and get tighter constant bounds for max block inputs)
  • backward:
    • refactor by splitting propagation through max and through linear block (easier code understanding)
    • avoid computing lower bounds when only upper bounds are needed and conversely (in intermediate computations for max block)
    • put code in common propagation through max for upper and lower bounds
    • manage diagonal and empty (identity) backward bounds to propagate
    • overcome argmax limitation in tensorflow (max 7 axes) by merging axes before argmax in max_prime and then splitting them back

Some problems (wrong bounds) remain , we skip for now the corresponding tests:

  • in backward propagation with data_format=="channels_last"
  • in forward affine with padding == same + data_format == "channels_last"
  • on some machines + tensorflow, initialization of BackwardMaxPooling2D with data_format=="channels_first"

It enables finding the afinne representation of the linear component of
some layers (e.g. MaxPooling2D)
For forward affine propagation, we want to delay oracle bound computation
after passing through linear block.
We try here to do it with less code duplication
- we stop copying call_forward and using a trick to pass
  perturbation_domain_inputs instead of input_constant_bounds
- instead we define a flag for a DecomonLayer defaulting to False which
  can skip the oracle and make the perturbation_domain_inputs to be
  passed explicitely and officially to forward_affine_propagate()
- we also thighten the oracle bounds by propagating also the ibp ones
  throudh the linear block in hybrid mode
In works on some machines and not on others.
