In this tutorial, we demonstrate a realistic data poisoning attack by manipulating labels in the CIFAR-10 dataset and observing its impact on model behavior. We construct a clean and a poisoned training pipeline side by side, using a ResNet-style convolutional network to ensure stable, comparable learning dynamics. By selectively flipping a fraction of samples from…
