• Authors: Alexander Egiazarov, Fabio Massimo Zennaro, Vasileios Mavroeidis
• Abstract summary: Threat detection of weapons and aggressive behavior from live video can be used for rapid detection and prevention of potentially deadly incidents. One way for achieving this is through the use of artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning for image analysis. We compare a traditional monolithic end-to-end deep learning model and a previously proposed model based on an ensemble of simpler neural networks detecting fire-weapons via semantic segmentation.

• Abstract: Threat detection of weapons and aggressive behavior from live video can be used for rapid detection and prevention of potentially deadly incidents such as terrorism, general criminal offences, or even domestic violence. One way for achieving this is through the use of artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning for image analysis. In this paper we conduct a comparison between a traditional monolithic end-to-end deep learning model and a previously proposed model based on an ensemble of simpler neural networks detecting fire-weapons via semantic segmentation. We evaluated both models from different points of view, including accuracy, computational and data complexity, flexibility and reliability. Our results show that a semantic segmentation model provides considerable amount of flexibility and resilience in the low data environment compared to classical deep model models, although its configuration and tuning presents a challenge in achieving the same levels of accuracy as an end-to-end model.

  This paper proposes a novel framework to reinforce classification models using language-guided generated counterfactual images. We identify model weaknesses by testing the model using the counterfactual image dataset. We employ the counterfactual images as an augmented dataset to fine-tune and reinforce the classification model.

  We evaluate the robustness of models found by two NeuroEvolution approaches on the CIFAR-10 image classification task. Our results show that when the evolved models are attacked with iterative methods, their accuracy usually drops to, or close to, zero. Some of these techniques can exacerbate the perturbations added to the original inputs, potentially harming robustness.

  Differentiable causal discovery has proposed to factorize the data generating process into a set of modules. We study the generalization and adaption performance of such modular neural causal models. Our analysis shows that the modular neural causal models outperform other models on both zero and few-shot adaptation in low data regimes.
