• Title: Bayesian Neural Networks: A Min-Max Game Framework
• Authors: Junping Hong, Ercan Engin Kuruoglu,
• Abstract summary: We formulate the BNN via game theory between the deterministic neural network $f$ and the sampling network $f + xi$ or $f + r*xi$. Compared with previous BNN, BNN via game theory learns a solution space within a certain gap between the center $f$ and the sampling point $f + r*xi$. The minimum points between $f$ and $f + r*xi$ become stable when the subspace dimension is large enough with a well-trained model $f$.

• Abstract: This paper is a preliminary study of the robustness and noise analysis of deep neural networks via a game theory formulation Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) and the maximal coding rate distortion loss. BNN has been shown to provide some robustness to deep learning, and the minimax method used to be a natural conservative way to assist the Bayesian method. Inspired by the recent closed-loop transcription neural network, we formulate the BNN via game theory between the deterministic neural network $f$ and the sampling network $f + \xi$ or $f + r*\xi$. Compared with previous BNN, BNN via game theory learns a solution space within a certain gap between the center $f$ and the sampling point $f + r*\xi$, and is a conservative choice with a meaningful prior setting compared with previous BNN. Furthermore, the minimum points between $f$ and $f + r*\xi$ become stable when the subspace dimension is large enough with a well-trained model $f$. With these, the model $f$ can have a high chance of recognizing the out-of-distribution data or noise data in the subspace rather than the prediction level, even if $f$ is in online training after a few iterations of true data. So far, our experiments are limited to MNIST and Fashion MNIST data sets, more experiments with realistic data sets and complicated neural network models should be implemented to validate the above arguments.

We propose a novel framework for neural network selection by analyzing the governing dynamics over synaptic connections (edges) during training. Our framework is built on the fact that back-propagation during neural network training is equivalent to the dynamical evolution of synaptic connections.

  Bayesian Networks (BNNs) are robust and adept at handling adversarial attacks by incorporating randomness. We create our BNN model, called BNN-DenseNet, by fusing Bayesian inference (i.e., variational Bayes) to the DenseNet architecture. An adversarially-trained BNN outperforms its non-Bayesian, adversarially-trained counterpart in most experiments.
