In contrast to prior novelty detection works, we aim to find the most specific class label of a novel data on the taxonomy built with known classes... 10 2.2 Illustration of two proposed approaches. In the top-down method, clas- sification starts from the root class, and propagates to one of its children until the prediction arrives at a known leaf class (blue) or stops if the pre- diction is not confident, which means that the prediction is a novel class whose closest super class is the predicted class. In the flatten method, we add a virtual novel class (red) under each super class as a representative of all novel classes, and then flatten the structure for classification..... 13 2.3 Illustration of strategies to train novel class scores in flatten methods. (a) shows the training images in the taxonomy. (b) shows relabeling strategy. Some training images are relabeled to super classes in a bottom-up man- ner. (c–d) shows leave-one-out (LOO) strategy. To learn a novel class score under a super class, one of its children is temporarily removed such that its descendant known leaf classes are treated as novel during training. 17 2.4 Qualitative results of hierarchical novelty detection on ImageNet. “GT” is the closest known ancestor of the novel class, which is the expected pre- diction, “DARTS” is the baseline method proposed in Deng et al.(2012) where we modify the method for our purpose, and the others are our pro- posed methods. “"” is the distance between the prediction and GT, “A” indicates whether the prediction is an ancestor of GT, and “Word” is the English word of the predicted label. Dashed edges represent multi-hop connection, where the number indicates the number of edges between classes. If the prediction is on a super class (marked with * and rounded), then the test image is classified as a novel class whose closest class in the taxonomy is the super class......................... 21 2.5 Known-novel class accuracy curves obtained by varying the novel class score bias on ImageNet, AwA2, and CUB. In most regions, our proposed methods outperform the baseline method.................. 22 vi 2.6 Seen-unseen class accuracy curves of the best combined models obtained by varying the unseen class score bias on AwA1, AwA2, and CUB. “Path” is the hierarchical embedding proposed in Akata et al.(2015), and “TD” is the embedding of the multiple softmax probability vector obtained from the proposed top-down method. In most regions, TD outperforms Path..................................... 25 3.1 We propose to leverage a large stream of unlabeled data in the wild for class-incremental learning. At each stage, a confidence-based sampling strategy is applied to build an external dataset. Specifically, some of un- labeled data are sampled based on the prediction of the model learned in the previous stage P for alleviating catastrophic forgetting, and some of them are randomly sampled for confidence calibration. Under the combi- nation of the labeled training dataset and the unlabeled external dataset, a teacher model C first learns the current task, and then the new model M learns

(Goodfellow 2016) Example • Consider the two sentences “I went to Nepal in 2009” and “In 2009, I went to Nepal.” • How a machine learning can extract the year information? q A traditional fully connected feedforward network would have separate parameters for each input feature, q so it would need to learn all of the rules of the language separately at each position in the sentence. • By comparison, a recurrent neural network shares the same weights across several time steps. (Goodfellow 2016) RNN vs. 1D convolutional • The output of convolution is a sequence where each member of the output is a function of a small number of neighboring members of the input. • Recurrent networks share parameters in a different way. q Each member of the output is a function of the previous members of the output q Each member of the output is produced using the same update rule applied to the previous outputs.

  • Semi-Supervised Neural Architecture Search
    Semi-Supervised Neural Architecture Search 1Renqian Luo,∗2Xu Tan, 2Rui Wang, 2Tao Qin, 1Enhong Chen, 2Tie-Yan Liu 1University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China 2Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China [email protected], [email protected] 2{xuta, ruiwa, taoqin, tyliu}@microsoft.com Abstract Neural architecture search (NAS) relies on a good controller to generate better architectures or predict the accuracy of given architectures. However, training the controller requires both abundant and high-quality pairs of architectures and their accuracy, while it is costly to evaluate an architecture and obtain its accuracy. In this paper, we propose SemiNAS, a semi-supervised NAS approach that leverages numerous unlabeled architectures (without evaluation and thus nearly no cost). Specifically, SemiNAS 1) trains an initial accuracy predictor with a small set of architecture-accuracy data pairs; 2) uses the trained accuracy predictor to predict the accuracy of large amount of architectures (without evaluation); and 3) adds the generated data pairs to the original data to further improve the predictor. The trained accuracy predictor can be applied to various NAS algorithms by predicting the accuracy of candidate architectures for them. SemiNAS has two advantages: 1) It reduces the computational cost under the same accuracy guarantee. On NASBench-101 benchmark dataset, it achieves comparable accuracy with gradient- based method while using only 1/7 architecture-accuracy pairs. 2) It achieves higher accuracy under the same computational cost. It achieves 94.02% test accuracy on NASBench-101, outperforming all the baselines when using the same number of architectures. On ImageNet, it achieves 23.5% top-1 error rate (under 600M FLOPS constraint) using 4 GPU-days for search.

  • Amora: Black-Box Adversarial Morphing Attack

In this paper, we investigate and introduce a new type of adversarial attack to evade FR systems by (a) Presentation spoofing attacks manipulating facial content, called adversarial morphing attack (a.k.a. Amora). In contrast to adversarial noise attack that perturbs pixel intensity values by adding human-imperceptible noise, our proposed adversarial morphing attack works at the semantic level that perturbs pixels spatially in a coherent manner. To tackle the (b) Adversarial noise attack black-box attack problem, we devise a simple yet effective joint dictionary learning pipeline to obtain a proprietary optical flow field for each attack. Our extensive evaluation on two popular FR systems demonstrates the effectiveness of our adversarial morphing attack at various levels of morphing intensity with smiling facial ex- pression manipulations. Both open-set and closed-set experimental (c) Adversarial morphing attack results indicate that a novel black-box adversarial attack based on local deformation is possible, and is vastly different from additive Figure 1: Three typical attacks on the FR systems.

  • Generative Adversarial Nets
    Generative Adversarial Nets Ian J. Goodfellow, Jean Pouget-Abadie,∗ Mehdi Mirza, Bing Xu, David Warde-Farley, Sherjil Ozair,y Aaron Courville, Yoshua Bengioz Departement´ d’informatique et de recherche operationnelle´ Universite´ de Montreal´ Montreal,´ QC H3C 3J7 Abstract We propose a new framework for estimating generative models via an adversar- ial process, in which we simultaneously train two models: a generative model G that captures the data distribution, and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G. The train- ing procedure for G is to maximize the probability of D making a mistake. This framework corresponds to a minimax two-player game. In the space of arbitrary functions G and D, a unique solution exists, with G recovering the training data 1 distribution and D equal to 2 everywhere. In the case where G and D are defined by multilayer perceptrons, the entire system can be trained with backpropagation. There is no need for any Markov chains or unrolled approximate inference net- works during either training or generation of samples. Experiments demonstrate the potential of the framework through qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the generated samples. 1 Introduction The promise of deep learning is to discover rich, hierarchical models [2] that represent probability distributions over the kinds of data encountered in artificial intelligence applications, such as natural images, audio waveforms containing speech, and symbols in natural language corpora. So far, the most striking successes in deep learning have involved discriminative models, usually those that map a high-dimensional, rich sensory input to a class label [14, 22].
