• Abstract: Deep neural network-based image classification can be misled by adversarial examples with small and quasi-imperceptible perturbations. Furthermore, the adversarial examples created on one classification model can also fool another different model. The transferability of the adversarial examples has recently attracted a growing interest since it makes black-box attacks on classification models feasible. As an extension of classification, semantic segmentation has also received much attention towards its adversarial robustness. However, the transferability of adversarial examples on segmentation models has not been systematically studied. In this work, we intensively study this topic. First, we explore the overfitting phenomenon of adversarial examples on classification and segmentation models. In contrast to the observation made on classification models that the transferability is limited by overfitting to the source model, we find that the adversarial examples on segmentations do not always overfit the source models. Even when no overfitting is presented, the transferability of adversarial examples is limited. We attribute the limitation to the architectural traits of segmentation models, i.e., multi-scale object recognition. Then, we propose a simple and effective method, dubbed dynamic scaling, to overcome the limitation. The high transferability achieved by our method shows that, in contrast to the observations in previous work, adversarial examples on a segmentation model can be easy to transfer to other segmentation models. Our analysis and proposals are supported by extensive experiments.

  Deep neural networks were significantly vulnerable to adversarial examples manipulated by malicious tiny perturbations. In this paper, we propose a supervised semantic-transformation generative model to generate adversarial examples with real and legitimate semantics. Experiments on MNIST and industrial defect datasets showed that our adversarial examples not only exhibited better visual quality but also achieved superior attack transferability.

  We propose a model-agnostic and training scheme for semantic segmentation. By randomly eliminating certain class information in each training iteration, we effectively reduce feature dependencies among classes. Models trained with our approach demonstrate strong results on multiple semantic segmentation benchmarks.

  Trained classification models can unintentionally lead to biased representations and predictions. Existing debiasing methods for classification models, such as adversarial training, are often expensive to train and difficult to optimise. We propose a method for mitigating bias by incorporating contrastive learning, in which instances sharing the same class label are encouraged to have similar representations.

  We propose an auxiliary training objective that improves the generalization capabilities of neural networks. We use pairs of minimally-different examples with different labels, a.k.a counterfactual or contrasting examples, which provide a signal indicative of the underlying causal structure of the task. Models trained with this technique demonstrate improved performance on out-of-distribution test sets.
