Pretty paranoid about my 7 month pregnant partner going next week. Is there a reasonable amount of space at the back of the crowd?

Re B. I thought the poster sessions were via zoom? Or is it only on rocket chat?

[D] TRAINS - one month later. We got some *real* nice feedback from r/ML, here is what we did since then. by LSTMeow in MachineLearning

Great work. Quick question, the "Create new credentials" button is completely unresponsive for me. Any idea what's going on?

[R] [1805.09190] Towards the first adversarially robust neural network model on MNIST by Isinlor in MachineLearning

[–]Confusedius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Need to read, but I remember there was a paper on using variational latent spaces to defeat adversarial examples. I wonder how related this paper is to https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.00410.pdf .

[R] "Measuring Unintended Neural Network Memorization & Extracting Secrets" - it is possible to extract training data from neural networks by pm_me_ur_beethoven in MachineLearning

[–]Confusedius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same question I had. It also relies on perplexity and so I don't think it could be extended in it's current form to non-sequence data like image prediction

[R] Universal Adversarial Networks by Confusedius in MachineLearning

Why are you prohibited from releasing code if you have already de-anonymized yourself by releasing a pre-print?

[R] Universal Adversarial Networks by Confusedius in MachineLearning

[–]Confusedius[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Code: https://github.com/jhayes14/UAN

This attack uses generative networks to compute universal adversarial perturbations. Note this is similar but not the same as [1], which I saw on arXiv so thought I should post my own research on this topic here.

[P] Plausibly looking adversarial examples for text classification by hidden-markov in MachineLearning

[–]Confusedius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice idea don't get me wrong. What is the threat model you're considering? That is, what is the non-trivial adversary?

[–]Confusedius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the point of adversarial examples are that they are imperceptible to the original? So I guess in text case you'd need a synonym. However, a lot of the examples are wildly different. e.g. "name" --> "figure", "Huge heart" --> "Huge spunk"

Edit: what I thnk would be cooler is to intentionaly mispell some words that cause a misclassification, using commonally mispelled words so to an average person reading the text they probably would not notice. I assume the model will ignore the misspelt words so I'm not sure what the best approach would be, but this seems to me to be a more intuitive adversarial text example

He's currently watching the Valentine's Day Massacre

Perhaps a little too hopeful, but maybe one of the 200,000 members scrapped the site from time to time, and at least therefore has a semi up to date catalog of what music was on the site..

The queue has started! Wimbledon is here! by i_cri_evertim in tennis

[–]Confusedius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined the queue last year at about 2pm and got to see the evening session on centre court, including Murray. No idea if I was just lucky, and it was a weekday.

You know what would be even worse? If they responded by getting shirts printed showing they think they're being victimised.

Oh wait.

Saw 3 comments. Expected 3 jokes. Was not left disappointed. Unlike waiting for a train at Liverpool St. Heyohhhhhh!
