Distilling Adversarial Robustness Using Heterogeneous Teachers

no code implementations23 Feb 2024 Jieren Deng, Aaron Palmer, Rigel Mahmood, Ethan Rathbun, Jinbo Bi, Kaleel Mahmood, Derek Aguiar

Achieving resiliency against adversarial attacks is necessary prior to deploying neural network classifiers in domains where misclassification incurs substantial costs, e. g., self-driving cars or medical imaging.

GBSD: Generative Bokeh with Stage Diffusion

no code implementations14 Jun 2023 Jieren Deng, Xin Zhou, Hao Tian, Zhihong Pan, Derek Aguiar

The bokeh effect is an artistic technique that blurs out-of-focus areas in a photograph and has gained interest due to recent developments in text-to-image synthesis and the ubiquity of smart-phone cameras and photo-sharing apps.

Smooth and Stepwise Self-Distillation for Object Detection

no code implementations9 Mar 2023 Jieren Deng, Xin Zhou, Hao Tian, Zhihong Pan, Derek Aguiar

Distilling the structured information captured in feature maps has contributed to improved results for object detection tasks, but requires careful selection of baseline architectures and substantial pre-training.

Bayesian Reconstruction and Differential Testing of Excised mRNA

1 code implementation14 Nov 2022 Marjan Hosseini, Devin McConnell, Derek Aguiar

We show that BREM achieves higher F1 score for reconstruction tasks and improved accuracy and sensitivity in differential splicing when compared with four state-of-the-art transcript and local splicing methods on simulated data.

Auto-Encoding Goodness of Fit

no code implementations12 Oct 2022 Aaron Palmer, Zhiyi Chi, Derek Aguiar, Jinbo Bi

Goodness of fit (GoF) hypothesis tests provide a measure of statistical indistinguishability between the latent distribution and a target distribution class.

Interpretable Fake News Detection with Topic and Deep Variational Models

1 code implementation4 Sep 2022 Marjan Hosseini, Alireza Javadian Sabet, Suining He, Derek Aguiar

The growing societal dependence on social media and user generated content for news and information has increased the influence of unreliable sources and fake content, which muddles public discourse and lessens trust in the media.
