Room for Error: Large-Scale Simulation of Over-the-Air Acoustic Attacks

Andrew C. Cullen, Neil G. Marchant, Jiani Xie +4

While voice control is rapidly becoming a ubiquitous vector of human-AI communication, the risks facing these systems remain poorly understood. This is, in part, a product of the d…

What Was That Again? Certified Robustness for Automatic Speech Recognition

Andrew C. Cullen, Neil G. Marchant, Jiani Xie +2

Automatic Speech Recognition systems are notoriously both sensitive to adversarial and benign perturbations. While this has been repeatedly demonstrated using reference datasets, d…

Halt Fast! Early Stopping for Certified Robustness

Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague, Benjamin I. P. Rubinstein

Randomized Smoothing (RS) provides rigorous robustness guarantees for neural networks without architectural constraints, yet its adoption is limited by extreme computational costs.…

Semantic Robustness Certification for Vision-Language Models

Peiyu Yang, Paul Montague, Feng Liu +4

Vision-language models (VLMs) are now widely used in downstream tasks. However, real-world applications often expose VLMs to distribution shifts induced by semantic variation (e.g.…

Hearing the Unspoken: Language Model Priors for Acoustic Adversarial Attacks

Jiani Xie, Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague +1

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems operating in real-time settings must process acoustic input under strict temporal constraints, where transcription decisions are inherent…

On the Bayes Inconsistency of Disagreement Discrepancy Surrogates

Neil G. Marchant, Andrew C. Cullen, Feng Liu +1

Deep neural networks often fail when deployed in real-world contexts due to distribution shift, a critical barrier to building safe and reliable systems. An emerging approach to ad…

Position: Certified Robustness Does Not (Yet) Imply Model Security

Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague, Sarah M. Erfani +1

While certified robustness is widely promoted as a solution to adversarial examples in Artificial Intelligence systems, significant challenges remain before these techniques can be…

Multi-level Certified Defense Against Poisoning Attacks in Offline Reinforcement Learning

Shijie Liu, Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague +2

Similar to other machine learning frameworks, Offline Reinforcement Learning (RL) is shown to be vulnerable to poisoning attacks, due to its reliance on externally sourced datasets…

Fox in the Henhouse: Supply-Chain Backdoor Attacks Against Reinforcement Learning

Shijie Liu, Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague +2

The current state-of-the-art backdoor attacks against Reinforcement Learning (RL) rely upon unrealistically permissive access models, that assume the attacker can read (or even wri…

Game-Theoretic Analysis of Adversarial Decision Making in a Complex Sociophysical System

Andrew C. Cullen, Tansu Alpcan, Alexander C. Kalloniatis

We apply Game Theory to a mathematical representation of two competing teams of agents connected within a complex network, where the ability of each side to manoeuvre their resourc…

It's Simplex! Disaggregating Measures to Improve Certified Robustness

Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague, Shijie Liu +2

Certified robustness circumvents the fragility of defences against adversarial attacks, by endowing model predictions with guarantees of class invariance for attacks up to a calcul…

Enhancing the Antidote: Improved Pointwise Certifications against Poisoning Attacks

Shijie Liu, Andrew C. Cullen, Paul Montague +2

Poisoning attacks can disproportionately influence model behaviour by making small changes to the training corpus. While defences against specific poisoning attacks do exist, they…

Exponential and algebraic decaying solitary waves and their connection to hydraulic fall solutions

Keith C. H. Chan, Andrew C. Cullen, Simon R. Clarke

The forced Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation describes incompressible inviscid free surface flows over some arbitrary topography. We investigate solitary and hydraulic fall solutio…

Failure-tolerant Distributed Learning for Anomaly Detection in Wireless Networks

Marc Katzef, Andrew C. Cullen, Tansu Alpcan +2

The analysis of distributed techniques is often focused upon their efficiency, without considering their robustness (or lack thereof). Such a consideration is particularly importan…

Et Tu Certifications: Robustness Certificates Yield Better Adversarial Examples

Andrew C. Cullen, Shijie Liu, Paul Montague +2

In guaranteeing the absence of adversarial examples in an instance's neighbourhood, certification mechanisms play an important role in demonstrating neural net robustness. In this…
