Useful nonrobust features are ubiquitous in biomedical images

Coenraad Mouton, Randle Rabe, Niklas C. Koser +4

We study whether deep networks for medical imaging learn useful nonrobust features - predictive input patterns that are not human interpretable and highly susceptible to small adve…

Does simple trump complex? Comparing strategies for adversarial robustness in DNNs

William Brooks, Marelie H. Davel, Coenraad Mouton

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have shown substantial success in various applications but remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks. This study aims to identify and isolate the compone…

Impact of Batch Normalization on Convolutional Network Representations

Hermanus L. Potgieter, Coenraad Mouton, Marelie H. Davel

Batch normalization (BatchNorm) is a popular layer normalization technique used when training deep neural networks. It has been shown to enhance the training speed and accuracy of…

Is network fragmentation a useful complexity measure?

Coenraad Mouton, Randle Rabe, Daniël G. Haasbroek +3

It has been observed that the input space of deep neural network classifiers can exhibit `fragmentation', where the model function rapidly changes class as the input space is trave…

The Missing Margin: How Sample Corruption Affects Distance to the Boundary in ANNs

Marthinus W. Theunissen, Coenraad Mouton, Marelie H. Davel

Classification margins are commonly used to estimate the generalization ability of machine learning models. We present an empirical study of these margins in artificial neural netw…

Exploring layerwise decision making in DNNs

Coenraad Mouton, Marelie H. Davel

While deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a standard architecture for many machine learning tasks, their internal decision-making process and general interpretability is still…

Tracking translation invariance in CNNs

Johannes C. Myburgh, Coenraad Mouton, Marelie H. Davel

Although Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used, their translation invariance (ability to deal with translated inputs) is still subject to some controversy. We explor…

Stride and Translation Invariance in CNNs

Coenraad Mouton, Johannes C. Myburgh, Marelie H. Davel

Convolutional Neural Networks have become the standard for image classification tasks, however, these architectures are not invariant to translations of the input image. This lack…
