Making Computer Vision Models Robust and Adaptive

Shuqing Teresa Yeo

Visual perception is indispensable for many real-world applications. However, perception models deployed in the real world will encounter numerous and unpredictable distribution shifts, for example, changes in geographic locations, motion blur, and adverse ...

Rapid Network Adaptation: Learning to Adapt Neural Networks Using Test-Time Feedback

Amir Roshan Zamir, Shuqing Teresa Yeo, Oguzhan Fatih Kar

We propose a method for adapting neural networks to distribution shifts at test-time. In contrast to training-time robustness mechanisms that attempt to anticipate and counter the shift, we create a closed-loop system and make use of test-time feedback sig ...

Towards Robust Vision Transformer

Shaokai Ye

Recent advances on Vision Transformer (ViT) and its improved variants have shown that self-attention-based networks surpass traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in most vision tasks. However, existing ViTs focus on the standard accuracy and com ...

OptTTA: Learnable Test-Time Augmentation for Source-Free Medical Image Segmentation Under Domain Shift

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar, Guillaume Marc Georges Vray, Devavrat Tomar

As distribution shifts are inescapable in realistic clinical scenarios due to inconsistencies in imaging protocols, scanner vendors, and across different centers, well-trained deep models incur a domain generalization problem in unseen environments. Despit ...

Robustness and invariance properties of image classifiers

Apostolos Modas

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive results in many image classification tasks. However, since their performance is usually measured in controlled settings, it is important to ensure that their decisions remain correct when deployed in noisy envi ...

Robust Generalization despite Distribution Shift via Minimum Discriminating Information

Daniel Kuhn, Andreas Krause, Tobias Sutter

Training models that perform well under distribution shifts is a central challenge in machine learning. In this paper, we introduce a modeling framework where, in addition to training data, we have partial structural knowledge of the shifted test distribut ...

Redundant features can hurt robustness to distribution shift

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Apostolos Modas, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez

In this work, we borrow tools from the field of adversarial robustness, and propose a new framework that permits to relate dataset features to the distance of samples to the decision boundary. Using this framework we identify the subspace of features used ...

Strong convergence of multivariate maxima

Simone Padoan, Stefano Rizzelli

It is well known and readily seen that the maximum of n independent and uniformly on [0, 1] distributed random variables, suitably standardised, converges in total variation distance, as n increases, to the standard negative exponential distribution. We ex ...

Impact of a companion and of chromospheric emission on the shape of chromosome maps for globular clusters

Carmela Lardo

Context. Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple populations of stars that are well-separated in a photometric diagram - the chromosome map - built from specific Hubble Space Telescope (HST) filters. Stars from different populations feature at various locati ...

Galactic rotation curves versus ultralight dark matter: Implications of the soliton-host halo relation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Bosonic ultralight dark matter (ULDM) would form cored density distributions at the center of galaxies. These cores, seen in numerical simulations, admit analytic description as the lowest energy bound state solution ("soliton") of the Schroedinger-Poisson ...
