   Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples that transfer across models. We systematically study how composing data augmentations affects transferability, exploring 46 augmentation techniques individually and in combination via exhaustive and genetic search. On ImageNet and CIFAR-10 across 18 models, simple color-space augmentations combined with standard ones substantially improve transferability over the state of the art.
