Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are receiving increased attention because they mimic synaptic connections in biological systems and produce spike trains, which can be approximated by binary values for computational efficiency. Recently, the addition of convolutional layers to combine the feature extraction power of convolutional networks with the computational efficiency of SNNs has been introduced. This paper studies the feasibility of using a convolutional spiking neural network (CSNN) to detect anticipatory slow cortical potentials (SCPs) related to braking intention in human participants using an electroencephalogram (EEG). Data was collected during an experiment wherein participants operated a remote-controlled vehicle on a testbed …

The Transferability of Adversarial Examples is of Central Importance to Transfer-Based Black-Box Adversarial Attacks. Previous Works for Generating Transferable Adversarial Examples Focus on Attacking Given Pretrained Surrogate Models While the Connections between Surrogate Models and Adversarial Trasferability Have Been overlooked. in This Paper, We Propose Lipschitz Regularized Surrogate (LRS) for Transfer-Based Black-Box Attacks, a Novel Approach that Transforms Surrogate Models towards Favorable Adversarial Transferability. using Such Transformed Surrogate Models, Any Existing Transfer-Based Black-Box Attack Can Run Without Any Change, Yet Achieving Much Better Performance. Specifically, We Impose Lipschitz Regularization on the Loss Landscape of Surrogate Models to Enable a Smoother …

The Capacity to Generalize to Future Unseen Data Stands as One of the Utmost Crucial Attributes of Deep Neural Networks. Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) Aims to Enhance the Generalizability by Minimizing Worst-Case Loss using One-Step Gradient Ascent as an Approximation. However, as Training Progresses, the Non-Linearity of the Loss Landscape Increases, Rendering One-Step Gradient Ascent Less Effective. on the Other Hand, Multi-Step Gradient Ascent Will Incur Higher Training Cost. in This Paper, We Introduce a Normalized Hessian Trace to Accurately Measure the Curvature of Loss Landscape on Both Training and Test Sets. in Particular, to Counter Excessive Non-Linearity of Loss Landscape, …
