StEik: Stabilizing the Optimization of Neural Signed Distance Functions and Finer Shape Representation

1 code implementation28 May 2023 Huizong Yang, Yuxin Sun, Ganesh Sundaramoorthi, Anthony Yezzi

We show analytically that as the representation power of the network increases, the optimization approaches a partial differential equation (PDE) in the continuum limit that is unstable.

Verifying the Causes of Adversarial Examples

no code implementations19 Oct 2020 Honglin Li, Yifei Fan, Frieder Ganz, Anthony Yezzi, Payam Barnaghi

The robustness of neural networks is challenged by adversarial examples that contain almost imperceptible perturbations to inputs, which mislead a classifier to incorrect outputs in high confidence.

An Adaptive View of Adversarial Robustness from Test-time Smoothing Defense

1 code implementation26 Nov 2019 Chao Tang, Yifei Fan, Anthony Yezzi

The safety and robustness of learning-based decision-making systems are under threats from adversarial examples, as imperceptible perturbations can mislead neural networks to completely different outputs.

Coarse-To-Fine Segmentation With Shape-Tailored Continuum Scale Spaces

no code implementations CVPR 2017 Naeemullah Khan, Byung-Woo Hong, Anthony Yezzi, Ganesh Sundaramoorthi

We formulate an energy for segmentation that is designed to have preference for segmenting the coarse over fine structure of the image, without smoothing across boundaries of regions.

We illustrate the use of this motion estimation scheme in propagating a segmentation across frames and show that it leads to more accurate segmentation than traditional motion estimation that does not make use of physical constraints.
