Speech Title: Enhancing Robustness in Deep Learning: A Universal Mechanism for Adversarial Example Detection in Multiple Types Data

Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) models are vulnerable to adversarial example(AE). For examples, Self-driving cars：Causing the traffic accident of self-driving cars, let voice assistant executing the wrong order or spread malicious speech through textual filter bot. We therefore proposed an AE detection method based on Poisson distribution. In the experiment, we demonstrated the generalization ability of our method. The experimental results show that our method is not limited to specific data. Also our method can effectively detect attacks with small perturbation degrees. In the future we will try to detect different, including those specifically designed to circumvent defense method.
