The Importance of Image Interpretation: Patterns of Semantic Misclassification in Real-World Adversarial Images

In this paper, we propose that adversarial images should be evaluated based on semantic mismatch, rather than label mismatch, as used in current work.

Going Grayscale: The Road to Understanding and Improving Unlearnable Examples

1 code implementation25 Nov 2021 Zhuoran Liu, Zhengyu Zhao, Alex Kolmus, Tijn Berns, Twan van Laarhoven, Tom Heskes, Martha Larson

Recent work has shown that imperceptible perturbations can be applied to craft unlearnable examples (ULEs), i. e. images whose content cannot be used to improve a classifier during training.

Doing Data Right: How Lessons Learned Working with Conventional Data should Inform the Future of Synthetic Data for Recommender Systems

no code implementations7 Oct 2021 Manel Slokom, Martha Larson

We present a case that the newly emerging field of synthetic data in the area of recommender systems should prioritize `doing data right'.
