In this paper, we study stability and latency of routing in wireless networks where it is assumed that no collision will occur. Our approach is inspired by the adversarial queuing theory, which is amended in order to model wireless…
While our world is filled with its own natural sounds that we can't resist enjoying, it is also chock-full of other sounds that can be irritating, this is noise. Noise not only influences the working efficiency but also the human's health.…
Deep neural networks have achieved remarkable results across many language processing tasks, however these methods are highly sensitive to noise and adversarial attacks. We present a regularization based method for limiting network…

Adversarial attacks dramatically change the output of an otherwise accurate learning system using a seemingly inconsequential modification to a piece of input data. Paradoxically, empirical evidence indicates that even systems which are…
Neural networks trained on visual data are well-known to be vulnerable to often imperceptible adversarial perturbations. The reasons for this vulnerability are still being debated in the literature. Recently Ilyas et al. (2019) showed that…

Policy robustness in Reinforcement Learning may not be desirable at any cost: the alterations caused by robustness requirements from otherwise optimal policies should be explainable, quantifiable and formally verifiable. In this work we…
