The Role of Input Dimensionality in the Emergence and Targeted Control of Adversarial Examples

Nasrin Malekzadeh Goradel, Niccolo Pancino, Yaser Gholizade Atani +3

Several theoretical works have tried to explain the adversarial vulnerability of deep neural networks through properties of high-dimensional geometry. However, the assumptions unde…

Of-SemWat: High-payload text embedding for semantic watermarking of AI-generated images with arbitrary size

Benedetta Tondi, Andrea Costanzo, Mauro Barni

We propose a high-payload image watermarking method for textual embedding, where a semantic description of the image - which may also correspond to the input text prompt-, is embed…

WILD: a new in-the-Wild Image Linkage Dataset for synthetic image attribution

Pietro Bongini, Sara Mandelli, Andrea Montibeller +14

Synthetic image source attribution is an open challenge, with an increasing number of image generators being released yearly. The complexity and the sheer number of available gener…
