Neural Information Processing Systems

In this section, we perform additional diagnostics that give us confidence that our models are not doing any form of gradient obfuscation or masking [3, 53]. First, we report in Table 4 the robust accuracy obtained by our strongest models against a diverse set of attacks. The cascade is composed as follows: AUTOPGD-CE, an untargeted attack using PGD with an adaptive step on the cross-entropy loss [10], AUTOPGD-T, a targeted attack using PGD with an adaptive step on the difference of logits ratio [10], FAB-T, a targeted attack which minimizes the norm of adversarial perturbations [9], SQUARE, a query-efficient black-box attack [1]. First, we observe that our combination of attacks, denoted AA+MT matches the final robust accuracy measured by AUTOATTACK. Second, we also notice that the black-box attack (i.e., SQUARE) does not find any additional adversarial examples.

RandAugment: Practical Automated Data Augmentation with a Reduced Search Space

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recent work on automated data augmentation strategies has led to state-of-the-art results in image classification and object detection. An obstacle to a large-scale adoption of these methods is that they require a separate and expensive search phase. A common way to overcome the expense of the search phase was to use a smaller proxy task. However, it was not clear if the optimized hyperparameters found on the proxy task are also optimal for the actual task. In this work, we rethink the process of designing automated data augmentation strategies. We find that while previous work required searching for many augmentation parameters (e.g.


Analysis of Hyperparameter Optimization Effects on Lightweight Deep Models for Real-Time Image Classification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Lightweight convolutional and transformer-based networks are increasingly preferred for real-time image classification, especially on resource-constrained devices. This study evaluates the impact of hyperparameter optimization on the accuracy and deployment feasibility of seven modern lightweight architectures: ConvNeXt-T, EfficientNetV2-S, MobileNetV3-L, MobileViT v2 (S/XS), RepVGG-A2, and TinyViT-21M, trained on a class-balanced subset of 90,000 images from ImageNet-1K. Under standardized training settings, this paper investigates the influence of learning rate schedules, augmentation, optimizers, and initialization on model performance. Inference benchmarks are performed using an NVIDIA L40s GPU with batch sizes ranging from 1 to 512, capturing latency and throughput in real-time conditions. This work demonstrates that controlled hyperparameter variation significantly alters convergence dynamics in lightweight CNN and transformer backbones, providing insight into stability regions and deployment feasibility in edge artificial intelligence. Our results reveal that tuning alone leads to a top-1 accuracy improvement of 1.5 to 3.5 percent over baselines, and select models (e.g., RepVGG-A2, MobileNetV3-L) deliver latency under 5 milliseconds and over 9,800 frames per second, making them ideal for edge deployment. This work provides reproducible, subset-based insights into lightweight hyperparameter tuning and its role in balancing speed and accuracy.
