In this paper, we aim to understand and explain the decisions of deep neural networks by studying the behavior of predicted attributes when adversarial examples are introduced. We study the changes in attributes for clean as well as…

Most neural network pruning methods, such as filter-level and layer-level prunings, prune the network model along one dimension (depth, width, or resolution) solely to meet a computational budget. However, such a pruning policy often leads…

Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a powerful framework for solving complex real-world problems. Large neural networks employed in the framework are traditionally associated with better generalization capabilities, but their increased size…
