Before revision:  Despite  state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods including interval bound propagation (IBP) and CROWN-IBP have per-batch training complexity similar to standard neural network training, to reach SOTA performance they usually need a long warmup schedule with hundreds or thousands epochs  and are thus still quite costlyfor training .
