mathematical maturity to work on medical AI, deep learning, and robust machine learning projects. These projects
involve algorithms, large datasets, Python, numpy, deep learning
libraries such as Keras and Pytorch, and parallel programming on CPUs and GPUs. These projects
would lead to a Masters or PhD thesis.
Adversarial attack challenge on CIFAR10 pairwise binary classification - we invite you to perform
white box attacks on our sign activation 01 loss neural network models.
In order to succeed in this challenge you must produce adversaries
within L-infinity distance of 16/255 of the original image using any method of your choice. Your model must
have at least 80% mean clean accuracy on pairwise CIFAR10 classification (shown in Table 1 below).
Your adversaries must bring down the model accuracy to almost 0%, which is on-par accuracy with the same
model structure with relu activations and cross-entropy loss (shown in Figure 5.5 below).
