An Analysis On Adversarial Machine Learning: Methods And Applications, Ali Dabouei Jan 2022

An Analysis On Adversarial Machine Learning: Methods And Applications, Ali Dabouei

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

Deep learning has witnessed astonishing advancement in the last decade and revolutionized many fields ranging from computer vision to natural language processing. A prominent field of research that enabled such achievements is adversarial learning, investigating the behavior and functionality of a learning model in presence of an adversary. Adversarial learning consists of two major trends. The first trend analyzes the susceptibility of machine learning models to manipulation in the decision-making process and aims to improve the robustness to such manipulations. The second trend exploits adversarial games between components of the model to enhance the learning process. This dissertation aims to …


Learning Representations For Human Identification, Sinan Sabri Jan 2022

Learning Representations For Human Identification, Sinan Sabri

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

Long-duration visual tracking of people requires the ability to link track snippets (a.k.a. tracklets) based on the identity of people. In lack of the availability of motion priors or hard biometrics (e.g., face, fingerprint, or iris), the common practice is to leverage soft biometrics for matching tracklets corresponding to the same person in different sightings. A common choice is to use the whole-body visual appearance of the person, as determined by the clothing, which is assumed to not change during tracking. The problem is challenging because distinct images of the same person may look very different, since no restrictions are …
