TextSeal2: Distortion-Free LLM Watermarking with Copula Mixing and Memoryless Races

Tom Sander, Pierre Fernandez, Itai Gat +11

We present TextSeal2, a distortion-free watermark for large language models that keeps its signal under speculative decoding: tokens that replace rejected drafts remain watermarked…

How Good is Post-Hoc Watermarking With Language Model Rephrasing?

Pierre Fernandez, Tom Sander, Hady Elsahar +6

Generation-time text watermarking embeds statistical signals into text for traceability of AI-generated content. We explore *post-hoc watermarking* where an LLM rewrites existing t…

Geometric Image Synchronization with Deep Watermarking

Pierre Fernandez, Tomáš Souček, Nikola Jovanović +5

Synchronization is the task of estimating and inverting geometric transformations (e.g., crop, rotation) applied to an image. This work introduces SyncSeal, a bespoke watermarking…

Generative models improve fairness of medical classifiers under distribution shifts

Ira Ktena, Olivia Wiles, Isabela Albuquerque +9

A ubiquitous challenge in machine learning is the problem of domain generalisation. This can exacerbate bias against groups or labels that are underrepresented in the datasets used…

Seasoning Model Soups for Robustness to Adversarial and Natural Distribution Shifts

Francesco Croce, Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Evan Shelhamer +1

Adversarial training is widely used to make classifiers robust to a specific threat or adversary, such as -norm bounded perturbations of a given -norm. However, existing…

NEVIS'22: A Stream of 100 Tasks Sampled from 30 Years of Computer Vision Research

Jorg Bornschein, Alexandre Galashov, Ross Hemsley +17

A shared goal of several machine learning communities like continual learning, meta-learning and transfer learning, is to design algorithms and models that efficiently and robustly…

Revisiting adapters with adversarial training

Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Francesco Croce, Sven Gowal

While adversarial training is generally used as a defense mechanism, recent works show that it can also act as a regularizer. By co-training a neural network on clean and adversari…

A Fine-Grained Analysis on Distribution Shift

Olivia Wiles, Sven Gowal, Florian Stimberg +4

Robustness to distribution shifts is critical for deploying machine learning models in the real world. Despite this necessity, there has been little work in defining the underlying…

Data Augmentation Can Improve Robustness

Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Sven Gowal, Dan A. Calian +3

Adversarial training suffers from robust overfitting, a phenomenon where the robust test accuracy starts to decrease during training. In this paper, we focus on reducing robust ove…

Improving Robustness using Generated Data

Sven Gowal, Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Olivia Wiles +3

Recent work argues that robust training requires substantially larger datasets than those required for standard classification. On CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, this translates into a si…

AutoNovel: Automatically Discovering and Learning Novel Visual Categories

Kai Han, Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Sébastien Ehrhardt +2

We tackle the problem of discovering novel classes in an image collection given labelled examples of other classes. We present a new approach called AutoNovel to address this probl…

Defending Against Image Corruptions Through Adversarial Augmentations

Dan A. Calian, Florian Stimberg, Olivia Wiles +4

Modern neural networks excel at image classification, yet they remain vulnerable to common image corruptions such as blur, speckle noise or fog. Recent methods that focus on this p…

Fixing Data Augmentation to Improve Adversarial Robustness

Sylvestre-Alvise Rebuffi, Sven Gowal, Dan A. Calian +3

Adversarial training suffers from robust overfitting, a phenomenon where the robust test accuracy starts to decrease during training. In this paper, we focus on both heuristics-dri…
