Large Language Models (LLMs) have been augmented with web search to overcome the limitations of the static knowledge boundary by accessing up-to-date information from the open Internet. While this integration enhances model capability, it also introduces a distinct safety threat surface: the retriev…
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are widely used for searching optimal solutions in complex multi-component applications. Traditional MOEAs for multi-component deep learning (MCDL) systems face challenges in enhancing the search efficiency while maintaining the diversity. To combat th…
Semi-supervised Federated Learning (SSFL) is a promising approach that allows clients to collaboratively train a global model in the absence of their local data labels. The key step of SSFL is the re-labeling where each client adopts two types of available models, namely global and local models, to…
By using a control variate to calibrate the local gradient of each client, Scaffold has been widely known as a powerful solution to mitigate the impact of data heterogeneity in Federated Learning. Although Scaffold achieves significant performance improvements, we show that this superiority is at th…
Recently, traffic sign recognition (TSR) systems have become a prominent target for physical adversarial attacks. These attacks typically rely on conspicuous stickers and projections, or using invisible light and acoustic signals that can be easily blocked. In this paper, we introduce a novel attack…
Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE) enables the prediction of scene depths from a single RGB image, having been widely integrated into production-grade autonomous driving systems, e.g., Tesla Autopilot. Current adversarial attacks to MDE models focus on attaching an optimized adversarial patch to a des…
Video anomaly detection (VAD) is an essential but challenging task. Existing prevalent methods focus on analyzing the reconstruction or prediction difference between normal and abnormal patterns through multiple deep features, e.g., optic flow. However, these approaches independently use deep featur…
Backdoor attacks against deep learning have been widely studied. Various attack techniques have been proposed for different domains and paradigms, e.g., image, point cloud, natural language processing, transfer learning, etc. These works normally adopt the data poisoning strategy to embed the backdo…
