BUZz: BUffer Zones for defending adversarial examples in image classification

Kaleel Mahmood, Phuong Ha Nguyen, Lam M. Nguyen +2

We propose a novel defense against all existing gradient based adversarial attacks on deep neural networks for image classification problems. Our defense is based on a combination…

On the Convergence Rates of Learning-based Signature Generation Schemes to Contain Self-propagating Malware

Saeed Valizadeh, Marten van Dijk

In this paper, we investigate the importance of a defense system's learning rates to fight against the self-propagating class of malware such as worms and bots. To this end, we int…

DTN: A Learning Rate Scheme with Convergence Rate of for SGD

Lam M. Nguyen, Phuong Ha Nguyen, Dzung T. Phan +2

This paper has some inconsistent results, i.e., we made some failed claims because we did some mistakes for using the test criterion for a series. Precisely, our claims on the conv…

Toward a Theory of Cyber Attacks

Saeed Valizadeh, Marten van Dijk

We provide a general methodology for analyzing defender-attacker based "games" in which we model such games as Markov models and introduce a capacity region to analyze how defensiv…

Finite-Sum Smooth Optimization with SARAH

Lam M. Nguyen, Marten van Dijk, Dzung T. Phan +3

The total complexity (measured as the total number of gradient computations) of a stochastic first-order optimization algorithm that finds a first-order stationary point of a finit…
