Expert Talk: Adversarial Examples of Deep Learning System and Its Defense

IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Chapter – IEEE Gujarat Section and Ahmedabad University invites you to following expert talk

Title: Adversarial Examples of Deep Learning System and Its Defense
Speaker: Minoru Kuribayashi, Okayama University, Japan
Mode: Virtual
Date: 15.03.2021
Time:1100 am to 12.00 pm

Registration form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SGqmPdU_2pK33tVmaBNcLwCnUcj1uZA2WXVz1MfXsDc/edit?usp=sharing.

Abstract: Deep neural network (DNN) is known to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where adversarial noise is added to images or speech files so that a target DNN-based system outputs wrong results. Adversarial examples are the content which fools a system. Examples of systems that can be attacked using adversarial examples include face recognition and automatic driving system. Moreover, the DNN training data set could also be poisoned in the situation where the adversary has access to the training database. One of the defense techniques is to detect such adversarial images by observing the outputs of a DNN-based system when noise removal filters are operated. Such operation-oriented characteristics enable us to classify a given image whether it is normal or adversarial. In this talk, I will show state-of-the-art techniques for detecting adversarial examples.

Topic: A non-conventional lightweight Auto Regressive Neural Network for accurate and energy efficient target tracking in Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract:
The design of an energy-efficient tracking framework is a well-investigated issue and a prominent sensor network application. The current research state shows a clear scope for developing algorithms that can work, accompanying both energy efficiency and accuracy. The prediction-based algorithms can save network energy by carefully selecting suitable nodes for continuous target tracking. However, the conventional prediction algorithms are confined to fixed motion models and generally fail in accelerated target movements. The neural networks can learn any non-linearity between input and output as they are model-free estimators. To design a lightweight neural network-based prediction algorithm for resource-constrained tiny sensor nodes is a challenging task. This research aims to develop a simpler, energy-efficient, and accurate network-based tracking scheme for linear and non-linear target movements. The proposed technique uses an autoregressive model to learn the temporal correlation between successive samples of a target trajectory. The simulation results are compared with the traditional Kalman filter (KF), Interacting Multiple models (IMM), Current Statistical model (CSM), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) based tracking approach. It shows that the proposed algorithm can save up to 70% of network energy with improved prediction accuracy.
