Disentangling the Roles of Curation, Data-Augmentation and the Prior in the Cold Posterior Effect

Lorenzo Noci, Kevin Roth, Gregor Bachmann +2

The "cold posterior effect" (CPE) in Bayesian deep learning describes the uncomforting observation that the predictive performance of Bayesian neural networks can be significantly…

A Primer on Multi-Neuron Relaxation-based Adversarial Robustness Certification

Kevin Roth

The existence of adversarial examples poses a real danger when deep neural networks are deployed in the real world. The go-to strategy to quantify this vulnerability is to evaluate…

Model of Brain Activation Predicts the Neural Collective Influence Map of the Brain

Flaviano Morone, Kevin Roth, Byungjoon Min +2

Efficient complex systems have a modular structure, but modularity does not guarantee robustness, because efficiency also requires an ingenious interplay of the interacting modular…

Precise characterization of the prior predictive distribution of deep ReLU networks

Lorenzo Noci, Gregor Bachmann, Kevin Roth +2

Recent works on Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) have highlighted the need to better understand the implications of using Gaussian priors in combination with the compositional struc…

Adversarial Training is a Form of Data-dependent Operator Norm Regularization

Kevin Roth, Yannic Kilcher, Thomas Hofmann

We establish a theoretical link between adversarial training and operator norm regularization for deep neural networks. Specifically, we prove that -norm constrained projec…

How Good is the Bayes Posterior in Deep Neural Networks Really?

Florian Wenzel, Kevin Roth, Bastiaan S. Veeling +7

During the past five years the Bayesian deep learning community has developed increasingly accurate and efficient approximate inference procedures that allow for Bayesian inference…

Adversarially Robust Training through Structured Gradient Regularization

Kevin Roth, Aurelien Lucchi, Sebastian Nowozin +1

We propose a novel data-dependent structured gradient regularizer to increase the robustness of neural networks vis-a-vis adversarial perturbations. Our regularizer can be derived…

Emergence of Robustness in Network of Networks

Kevin Roth, Flaviano Morone, Byungjoon Min +1

A model of interdependent networks of networks (NoN) has been introduced recently in the context of brain activation to identify the neural collective influencers in the brain NoN.…

The k-tied Normal Distribution: A Compact Parameterization of Gaussian Mean Field Posteriors in Bayesian Neural Networks

Jakub Swiatkowski, Kevin Roth, Bastiaan S. Veeling +7

Variational Bayesian Inference is a popular methodology for approximating posterior distributions over Bayesian neural network weights. Recent work developing this class of methods…

Stabilizing Training of Generative Adversarial Networks through Regularization

Kevin Roth, Aurelien Lucchi, Sebastian Nowozin +1

Deep generative models based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have demonstrated impressive sample quality but in order to work they require a careful choice of architectur…

The Odds are Odd: A Statistical Test for Detecting Adversarial Examples

Kevin Roth, Yannic Kilcher, Thomas Hofmann

We investigate conditions under which test statistics exist that can reliably detect examples, which have been adversarially manipulated in a white-box attack. These statistics can…

Hydra: Preserving Ensemble Diversity for Model Distillation

Linh Tran, Bastiaan S. Veeling, Kevin Roth +7

Ensembles of models have been empirically shown to improve predictive performance and to yield robust measures of uncertainty. However, they are expensive in computation and memory…
