Deep learning has expanded its application to many real-world problems, but at the same time, it is found to be very vulnerable to some simple adversarial attacks. Though various defense mechanisms have been proposed to improve robustness of deep learning software, many of them are ineffective against adaptive attacks. Thus, it is an important and arduous task to study the attack and defense metho...

Prof. Gao Shenghua’s research group from the Visual & Data Intelligence Center focuses on using deep learning and sparse/low-rank models to explore the low-dimensional structure in huge high-dimensional data, and uses it to solve practical computer vision problems, including target recognition, action recognition, image or video generation, 3D reconstruction, etc. Recently the group published...
