A question on AI Stack Exchange asks how to compute Attack Success Rate for search-based attacks, since the standard successful-attacks-over-attempted-attacks ratio is unambiguous only for a fixed attack set.

“Attack Success Rate is usually reported as (successful attacks) / (attempted attacks). For a fixed attack set that is unambiguous. For a search-based attack, it is not, and I cannot find a treatment of this.”
