Hierarchical Randomized Smoothing Y an Scholten

Neural Information Processing Systems

Randomized smoothing is a powerful framework for making models provably robust against small changes to their inputs - by guaranteeing robustness of the majority vote when randomly adding noise before classification.

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this analysis, we assume that evaluating the GP prior mean and kernel functions (and the corresponding derivatives) takesO(1)time. For each fantasy model, we need to compute the posterior mean and covariance matrix for the L points (x,w1:L), on which we draw the sample paths. This results in a total cost ofO(KML2)to generate all samples. The SAA approach trades a stochastic optimization problem with a deterministic approximation, which can be efficiently optimized. Suppose that we are interested in the optimization problemminxEω[h(x,ω)].

Candy canes are a holiday staple with roots dating back to the 1600s. The story suggests that in 1670, a choirmaster in Cologne, Germany, gave children these sugary sticks shaped like a shepherd's staff for the long nativity church service.
