Gmr-29 Identification Of Ai-Generated Images, Chris Foster, Joshua Brock, Harini Kottala, Srilatha Korrapati

C-Day Computing Showcase

With the quick rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), generative AI models have greatly increased the volume and velocity of data creation. Among that data, AI-generated images have become a highly discussed topic, especially when discussing the potential dangers of these AI models. Due to these dangers, being able to distinguish AI-generated art from human-made art is becoming a necessity. Additionally, as these AI-models improve, it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to determine whether art is AI-generated or human-made. This paper proposes the further exploration of the effectiveness of a current state of the art AI-image identification model.

Ur-70 Faster Inequivalence Testing Using Robustness, Emily G Jackson Apr 2024

Ur-70 Faster Inequivalence Testing Using Robustness, Emily G Jackson

C-Day Computing Showcase

We propose a new method for quickly testing the inequivalence of two Boolean functions, when one function is represented as an ordered binary decision diagram (OBDD), and the other is represented in conjunctive normal form (CNF). Our approach is based on a notion of classifier robustness from the fields of explainable AI (XAI) and adversarial machine learning. In particular, we show that two Boolean functions that are very similar in terms of their truth values, can be very different in terms of their robustness, which in turn, provides a witness to their inequivalence. A more efficient approach to inequivalence testing …
