Robust image classification with multi-modal large language models
Francesco Villani, Igor Maljkovic, Dario Lazzaro +3
Deep Neural Networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, i.e., carefully crafted input samples that can cause models to make incorrect predictions with high confidence. To miti…
