The Augmented Lagrangian Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) method is a cutting-edge distributed optimization algorithm known for its superior numerical performance. It relies on each agent transmitting information to a central…

Person re-identification is an important task and has widespread applications in video surveillance for public security. In the past few years, deep learning network with triplet loss has become popular for this problem. However, the…

Adversarial training has become the primary method to defend against adversarial samples. However, it is hard to practically apply due to many shortcomings. One of the shortcomings of adversarial training is that it will reduce the…

Deploying machine learning models in resource-constrained environments, such as edge devices or rapid prototyping scenarios, increasingly demands distillation of large datasets into significantly smaller yet informative synthetic datasets.…

We consider minimization of the sum of a large number of convex functions, and we propose an incremental aggregated version of the proximal algorithm, which bears similarity to the incremental aggregated gradient and subgradient methods…

Adversarial training is wildly considered as one of the most effective way to defend against adversarial examples. However, existing adversarial training methods consume unbearable time, due to the fact that they need to generate…

In this paper, we introduce a novel neural network training framework that increases model's adversarial robustness to adversarial attacks while maintaining high clean accuracy by combining contrastive learning (CL) with adversarial…

Dataset Condensation (DC) refers to the recent class of dataset compression methods that generate a smaller, synthetic, dataset from a larger dataset. This synthetic dataset aims to retain the essential information of the original dataset,…

Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE) estimation, at the heart of counterfactual reasoning, is a crucial challenge for causal modeling both theoretically and applicatively, in domains such as healthcare, sociology, or advertising.…

Recently, contrastive learning has risen to be a promising approach for large-scale self-supervised learning. However, theoretical understanding of how it works is still unclear. In this paper, we propose a new guarantee on the downstream…

Conventional adversarial defenses reduce classification accuracy whether or not a model is under attacks. Moreover, most of image processing based defenses are defeated due to the problem of obfuscated gradients. In this paper, we propose a…

Machine learning has achieved great success in electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Most existing BCI studies focused on improving the decoding accuracy, with only a few considering the adversarial security.…

Adversarial continual learning is effective for continual learning problems because of the presence of feature alignment process generating task-invariant features having low susceptibility to the catastrophic forgetting problem.…

Deep neural network image classifiers are reported to be susceptible to adversarial evasion attacks, which use carefully crafted images created to mislead a classifier. Recently, various kinds of adversarial attack methods have been…

Contrastive learning has become a cornerstone of modern representation learning, allowing training with massive unlabeled data for both task-specific and general (foundation) models. A prototypical loss in contrastive training is InfoNCE…

Within the framework of the augmented Lagrangian (AL), we propose a novel distributed optimization method, termed Distributed Augmented Lagrangian Decomposition (DALD), and provide a rigorous convergence proof for its standard version. To…

Despite its remarkable success in zero-shot image-text matching, CLIP remains highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations on images. As adversarial fine-tuning is prohibitively costly, recent works explore various test-time defense…

A preconditioning strategy for the Powell-Hestenes-Rockafellar Augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is presented. The scheme exploits the structure of the Augmented Lagrangian Hessian. It is a modular preconditioner consisting of two blocks.…

Due to the limited availability of medical data, deep learning approaches for medical image analysis tend to generalise poorly to unseen data. Augmenting data during training with random transformations has been shown to help and became a…

We analyze the convergence behaviour of a recently proposed algorithm for regularized estimation called Dual Augmented Lagrangian (DAL). Our analysis is based on a new interpretation of DAL as a proximal minimization algorithm. We…
