Efficient Certification of Spatial Robustness

Recent work has exposed the vulnerability of computer vision models to spatial transformations. Due to the widespread usage of such models in safety-critical applications, it is crucial to quantify their robustness against spatial transformations… However, existing work only provides empirical quantification of spatial robustness via adversarial attacks, which lack provable guarantees. In this work, we propose novel convex relaxations, which enable us, for the first time, to provide a certificate of robustness against spatial transformations. Our convex relaxations are model-agnostic […]

MStream: Fast Streaming Multi-Aspect Group Anomaly Detection

Given a stream of entries in a multi-aspect data setting i.e., entries having multiple dimensions, how can we detect anomalous activities? For example, in the intrusion detection setting, existing work seeks to detect anomalous events or edges in dynamic graph streams, but this does not allow us to take into account additional attributes of each entry… Our work aims to define a streaming multi-aspect data anomaly detection framework, termed MStream, which can detect unusual group anomalies as they occur, in […]

Intrusion Detection for Cyber-Physical Systems using Generative Adversarial Networks in Fog Environment

Cyber-attacks on cyber-physical systems (CPSs) can lead to sensing and actuation misbehavior, severe damages to physical objects, and safety risks. Machine learning algorithms have been proposed for hindering cyber-attacks on CPSs, but the absence of labeled data from novel attacks makes their detection quite challenging… In this context, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a promising unsupervised approach to detect cyber-attacks by implicitly modeling the system. However, the detection of cyber-attacks on CPSs has strict latency requirements, since the attacks need […]

FarsTail: A Persian Natural Language Inference Dataset

Natural language inference (NLI) is known as one of the central tasks in natural language processing (NLP) which encapsulates many fundamental aspects of language understanding. With the considerable achievements of data-hungry deep learning methods in NLP tasks, a great amount of effort has been devoted to develop more diverse datasets for different languages… In this paper, we present a new dataset for the NLI task in the Persian language, also known as Farsi, which is one of the dominant languages […]

Progressive Semantic-Aware Style Transformation for Blind Face Restoration

Face restoration is important in face image processing, and has been widely studied in recent years. However, previous works often fail to generate plausible high quality (HQ) results for real-world low quality (LQ) face images… In this paper, we propose a new progressive semantic-aware style transformation framework, named PSFR-GAN, for face restoration. Specifically, instead of using an encoder-decoder framework as previous methods, we formulate the restoration of LQ face images as a multi-scale progressive restoration procedure through semantic-aware style transformation. […]

Novel View Synthesis from Single Images via Point Cloud Transformation

In this paper the argument is made that for true novel view synthesis of objects, where the object can be synthesized from any viewpoint, an explicit 3D shape representation isdesired. Our method estimates point clouds to capture the geometry of the object, which can be freely rotated into the desired view and then projected into a new image… This image, however, is sparse by nature and hence this coarse view is used as the input of an image completion network […]

ShapeAssembly: Learning to Generate Programs for 3D Shape Structure Synthesis

Manually authoring 3D shapes is difficult and time consuming; generative models of 3D shapes offer compelling alternatives. Procedural representations are one such possibility: they offer high-quality and editable results but are difficult to author and often produce outputs with limited diversity… On the other extreme are deep generative models: given enough data, they can learn to generate any class of shape but their outputs have artifacts and the representation is not editable. In this paper, we take a step towards […]

Understanding Effects of Editing Tweets for News Sharing by Media Accounts through a Causal Inference Framework

To reach a broader audience and optimize traffic toward news articles, media outlets commonly run social media accounts and share their content with a short text summary. Despite its importance of writing a compelling message in sharing articles, research community does not own a sufficient level of understanding of what kinds of editing strategies are effective in promoting audience engagement… In this study, we aim to fill the gap by analyzing the current practices of media outlets using a data-driven […]

Image Captioning with Attention for Smart Local Tourism using EfficientNet

Smart systems have been massively developed to help humans in various tasks. Deep Learning technologies push even further in creating accurate assistant systems due to the explosion of data lakes… One of the smart system tasks is to disseminate users needed information. This is crucial in the tourism sector to promote local tourism destinations. In this research, we design a model of local tourism specific image captioning, which later will support the development of AI-powered systems that assist various users. […]

S2SD: Simultaneous Similarity-based Self-Distillation for Deep Metric Learning

Deep Metric Learning (DML) provides a crucial tool for visual similarity and zero-shot retrieval applications by learning generalizing embedding spaces, although recent work in DML has shown strong performance saturation across training objectives. However, generalization capacity is known to scale with the embedding space dimensionality… Unfortunately, high dimensional embeddings also create higher retrieval cost for downstream applications. To remedy this, we propose S2SD – Simultaneous Similarity-based Self-distillation. S2SD extends DML with knowledge distillation from auxiliary, high-dimensional embedding and feature spaces […]
