Machine Learning Security in Industry: A Quantitative Survey

Kathrin Grosse

Despite the large body of academic work on machine learning security, little is known about the occurrence of attacks on machine learning systems in the wild. In this paper, we report on a quantitative study with 139 industrial practitioners. We analyze at ...

Incremental Learning in Diagonal Linear Networks

Raphaël Jean Berthier

Diagonal linear networks (DLNs) are a toy simplification of artificial neural networks; they consist in a quadratic reparametrization of linear regression inducing a sparse implicit regularization. In this paper, we describe the trajectory of the gradient ...

A note on universal inference

Anthony Christopher Davison, Timmy Rong Tian Tse

Universal inference enables the construction of confidence intervals and tests without regularity conditions by splitting the data into two parts and appealing to Markov's inequality. Previous investigations have shown that the cost of this generality is a ...

Experimental characterisation of textile compaction response: A benchmark exercise

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar

This paper reports the results of an international benchmark exercise on the measurement of fibre bed compaction behaviour. The aim was to identify aspects of the test method critical to obtain reliable results and to arrive at a recommended test procedure ...

On long time behavior of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations

Stefano Francesco Burzio

In part I, we address the issue of existence of solutions for Cauchy problems involving nonlinear hyperbolic equations for initial data in Sobolev spaces with scaling subcritical regularity. In particular, we analyse nonlinear estimates for null-forms in t ...

Learning new physics from a machine

Andrea Wulzer, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo

We propose using neural networks to detect data departures from a given reference model, with no prior bias on the nature of the new physics responsible for the discrepancy. The virtues of neural networks as unbiased function approximants make them particu ...

The detection of two-component mixture alternatives : Theory and methods

Daria Rukina

In this thesis, we deal with one of the facets of the statistical detection problem. We study a particular type of alternative, the mixture model. We consider testing where the null hypothesis corresponds to the absence of a signal, represented by some kno ...

MAGIC observations of the February 2014 flare of 1ES 1011+496 and ensuing constraint of the EBL density

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. During February-March 2014, the MAGIC telescopes observed the high-frequency peaked BL Lac 1ES 1011 + 496 (z = 0.212) in flaring state at very-high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV). The flux reached a level of more than ten times higher than any previous ...

Modelling human perception of static facial expressions

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gianluca Antonini, Thomas Robin, Javier Cruz Mota, Matteo Sorci

A recent internet based survey of over 35'000 samples has shown that when different human observers are asked to assign labels to static human facial expressions, different individuals categorize differently the same image. This fact results in a lack of a ...

Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband Ranging Algorithm under Multi User Environments

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Practical impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) ranging systems always have to work in multi-user and weak non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. In this paper, we derive a novel IR-UWB ranging estimator under multi-user and weak NLOS environments. We mode ...
