Leveraging Unlabeled Data to Track Memorization

Patrick Thiran, Mahsa Forouzesh, Hanie Sedghi

Deep neural networks may easily memorize noisy labels present in real-world data, which degrades their ability to generalize. It is therefore important to track and evaluate the robustness of models against noisy label memorization. We propose a metric, ca ...

Adversarial Training Should Be Cast As a Non-Zero-Sum Game

Volkan Cevher, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez

One prominent approach toward resolving the adversarial vulnerability of deep neural networks is the two-player zero-sum paradigm of adversarial training, in which predictors are trained against adversarially-chosen perturbations of data. Despite the promi ...
