Interpreting neural network decisions and the information learned in intermediate layers is still a challenge due to the opaque internal state and shared non-linear interactions. Although (Kim et al, 2017) proposed to interpret intermediate layers by quantifying its ability to distinguish a user-defined concept (from random examples), the questions of robustness (variation against the choice of random examples) and effectiveness (retrieval rate of concept images) remain. We investigate these two properties and propose improvements to make concept activations reliable for practical use. Effectiveness: If the intermediate layer has effectively learned a user-defined concept, it should be able to recall --- at the testing step --- most of the images containing the proposed concept. For instance, we observed that the recall rate of Tiger shark and Great white shark from the ImageNet dataset with Fins as a user-defined concept was only 18.35% for VGG16. To increase the effectiveness of concept learning, we propose A-CAV --- the Adversarial Concept Activation Vector --- this results in larger margins between user concepts and (negative) random examples. This approach improves the aforesaid recall to 76.83% for VGG16. For robustness, we define it as the ability of an intermediate layer to be consistent in its recall rate (the effectiveness) for different random seeds. We observed that TCAV has a large variance in recalling a concept across different random seeds. For example, the recall of cat images (from a layer learning the concept of tail) varies from 18% to 86% with 20.85% standard deviation on VGG16. We propose a simple and scalable modification that employs a Gram-Schmidt process to sample random noise from concepts and learn an average concept classifier. This approach improves the aforesaid standard deviation from 20.85% to 6.4%.

Despite the recent advances in a wide spectrum of applications, machine learning models, especially deep neural networks, have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Attackers add carefully-crafted perturbations to input, where the pertu rbations are almost imperceptible to humans, but can cause models to make wrong predictions. Techniques to protect models against adversarial input are called adversarial defense methods. Although many approaches have been proposed to study adversarial attacks and defenses in different scenarios, an intriguing and crucial challenge remains that how to really understand model vulnerability? Inspired by the saying that if you know yourself and your enemy, you need not fear the battles, we may tackle the aforementioned challenge after interpreting machine learning models to open the black-boxes. The goal of model interpretation, or interpretable machine learning, is to extract human-understandable terms for the working mechanism of models. Recently, some approaches start incorporating interpretation into the exploration of adversarial attacks and defenses. Meanwhile, we also observe that many existing methods of adversarial attacks and defenses, although not explicitly claimed, can be understood from the perspective of interpretation. In this paper, we review recent work on adversarial attacks and defenses, particularly from the perspective of machine learning interpretation. We categorize interpretation into two types, feature-level interpretation and model-level interpretation. For each type of interpretation, we elaborate on how it could be used for adversarial attacks and defenses. We then briefly illustrate additional correlations between interpretation and adversaries. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions along tackling adversary issues with interpretation.
In active learning, sampling bias could pose a serious inconsistency problem and hinder the algorithm from finding the optimal hypothesis. However, many methods for neural networks are hypothesis space agnostic and do not address this problem. We exa mine active learning with convolutional neural networks through the principled lens of version space reduction. We identify the connection between two approaches---prior mass reduction and diameter reduction---and propose a new diameter-based querying method---the minimum Gibbs-vote disagreement. By estimating version space diameter and bias, we illustrate how version space of neural networks evolves and examine the realizability assumption. With experiments on MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, SVHN and STL-10 datasets, we demonstrate that diameter reduction methods reduce the version space more effectively and perform better than prior mass reduction and other baselines, and that the Gibbs vote disagreement is on par with the best query method.
We describe an adversarial learning approach to constrain convolutional neural network training for image registration, replacing heuristic smoothness measures of displacement fields often used in these tasks. Using minimally-invasive prostate cancer intervention as an example application, we demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing biomechanical simulations to regularize a weakly-supervised anatomical-label-driven registration network for aligning pre-procedural magnetic resonance (MR) and 3D intra-procedural transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images. A discriminator network is optimized to distinguish the registration-predicted displacement fields from the motion data simulated by finite element analysis. During training, the registration network simultaneously aims to maximize similarity between anatomical labels that drives image alignment and to minimize an adversarial generator loss that measures divergence between the predicted- and simulated deformation. The end-to-end trained network enables efficient and fully-automated registration that only requires an MR and TRUS image pair as input, without anatomical labels or simulated data during inference. 108 pairs of labelled MR and TRUS images from 76 prostate cancer patients and 71,500 nonlinear finite-element simulations from 143 different patients were used for this study. We show that, with only gland segmentation as training labels, the proposed method can help predict physically plausible deformation without any other smoothness penalty. Based on cross-validation experiments using 834 pairs of independent validation landmarks, the proposed adversarial-regularized registration achieved a target registration error of 6.3 mm that is significantly lower than those from several other regularization methods.
Even though deep learning has shown unmatched performance on various tasks, neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable to small adversarial perturbations of the input that lead to significant performance degradation. In this work we extend the idea of adding white Gaussian noise to the network weights and activations during adversarial training (PNI) to the injection of colored noise for defense against common white-box and black-box attacks. We show that our approach outperforms PNI and various previous approaches in terms of adversarial accuracy on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets. In addition, we provide an extensive ablation study of the proposed method justifying the chosen configurations.
Daniely and Schacham recently showed that gradient descent finds adversarial examples on random undercomplete two-layers ReLU neural networks. The term undercomplete refers to the fact that their proof only holds when the number of neurons is a vanis hing fraction of the ambient dimension. We extend their result to the overcomplete case, where the number of neurons is larger than the dimension (yet also subexponential in the dimension). In fact we prove that a single step of gradient descent suffices. We also show this result for any subexponential width random neural network with smooth activation function.
