United We Stand, Divided We Fall: Fingerprinting Deep Neural Networks via Adversarial Trajectories

Neural Information Processing Systems

In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have witnessed extensive applications, and protecting their intellectual property (IP) is thus crucial. As a non-invasive way for model IP protection, model fingerprinting has become popular. However, existing single-point based fingerprinting methods are highly sensitive to the changes in the decision boundary, and may suffer from the misjudgment of the resemblance of sparse fingerprinting, yielding high false positives of innocent models. In this paper, we propose ADV-TRA, a more robust fingerprinting scheme that utilizes adversarial trajectories to verify the ownership of DNN models. Benefited from the intrinsic progressively adversarial level, the trajectory is capable of tolerating greater degree of alteration in decision boundaries.


Artificial Intelligence Is Changing SEO: Get Ahead Or Fall Behind

#artificialintelligence

The AI revolution is upon us, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It seemed like yesterday when things like automated social media posts, blog content, and chatbots were something laughable, not fully able to compete with human intelligence. However, these algorithms have accelerated almost to the point of reaching human logic, making marketers both excited and scared. On one end, the idea of having our content and customer data be delivered to us in a way that's way more efficient than ever before is incredibly enticing to content distributors. On the flip side, this is making content providers/writers nervous about whether their jobs are going to become obsolete.


The FTC Doesn't Want You to Fall for This Nintendo Switch Scam

TIME - Tech

Well this is a bit odd. Attorney Lisa Schifferle writing for the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer & Business education division issued a warning on April 18 titled "There's no Nintendo Switch emulator." That has been, and as far as I can tell continues to be, a true statement, though the FTC isn't generally in the business of issuing warnings about video games. There's apparently a noteworthy scam making the rounds, wherein people are either going looking for counterfeit software on dubious websites, or being approached by scammers peddling nonsense in the guise of a Nintendo-fied simulacrum. In a blog post that seems at time to knowingly wink at readers amidst its stern language, Schifferle acknowledges the Switch's supply scarcity at the moment.


'Minecraft' Is Getting New Boss Battles This Fall

TIME - Tech

It doesn't scare my 4-year-old as much as Herobrine in Titan's clever "Lego Minecraft" YouTube flicks, but The Wither is coming to the Windows 10, Pocket Edition and Gear VR versions of Minecraft in something dubbed "The Boss Update." It'll be another freebie, and Microsoft says to look for it this fall, post-Minecon. Those versions will also get ocean monuments (underwater temples haunted by Mojang's aquatic homage to Dungeons & Dragons' beholder), nether stars (dropped by The Wither, letting you create beacons of light), new building blocks (prismarine and sponges) and "slash commands." Slash commands may be the biggest deal here, since they're basically shorthand for tinkerers who want to make god-level tweaks to the game on the fly. The Boss Update will include 20 of these, and Microsoft says to expect more down the road.



Editorial

AI Magazine

It has been a gratifying experience to observe and to One major exception: I know that many members participate in the growth of our Association's Magazine. As the official publication worried about how we'd get enough material to put out the Moreover, there is no articles full, and I was concerned that it just be nonempty! We don't have that I had rejected almost nothing since I had taken over-the editorial staff to do extensive rewriting or editing. "All the news we get we print" was close to the truth. Most of the magazine published four issues, averaging a little over 40 pages each.
