Assessing Shape Bias Property of Convolutional Neural Networks

Hossein Hosseini, Baicen Xiao, Mayoore Jaiswal +1

It is known that humans display "shape bias" when classifying new items, i.e., they prefer to categorize objects based on their shape rather than color. Convolutional Neural Networ…

Semantic Adversarial Examples

Hossein Hosseini, Radha Poovendran

Deep neural networks are known to be vulnerable to adversarial examples, i.e., images that are maliciously perturbed to fool the model. Generating adversarial examples has been mos…

Learning Temporal Dependence from Time-Series Data with Latent Variables

Hossein Hosseini, Sreeram Kannan, Baosen Zhang +1

We consider the setting where a collection of time series, modeled as random processes, evolve in a causal manner, and one is interested in learning the graph governing the relatio…
