We propose $\textbf{EvoBA}$ as a query-efficient $L_0$ black-box adversarial attack which, together with the aforementioned methods, can serve as a generic tool to assess the empirical robustness of image classifiers.

To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to approach anomalous event detection in video as a multi-task learning problem, integrating multiple self-supervised and knowledge distillation proxy tasks in a single architecture.

To generate useful data samples for training the student, our framework (i) learns to generate images on a proxy data set (with images and classes different from those used to train the black-box) and (ii) applies an evolutionary strategy to make sure that each generated data sample exhibits a high response for a specific class when given as input to the black box.

Following the standard formulation of abnormal event detection as outlier detection, we propose a background-agnostic framework that learns from training videos containing only normal events.

To detected abnormal events in the test video, we analyze each test sample and consider its maximum normality score provided by the trained one-class SVM models, based on the intuition that a test sample can belong to only one cluster of normality.
