With the rise of neural network-based classifiers, it is evident that these algorithms are here to stay. Even though various algorithms have been developed, these classifiers still remain vulnerable to misclassification attacks. This article outlines a new noise layer attack based on adversarial learning and compares the proposed method to other such attacking methodologies like Fast Gradient Sign Method, Jacobian-Based Saliency Map Algorithm and DeepFool. This work deals with comparing these algorithms for the use case of single image classification and provides a detailed analysis of how each algorithm compares to each other.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In particular, a single perturbation known as the universal adversarial perturbation (UAP) can foil most classification tasks conducted by DNNs. Thus, different methods for generating UAPs are required to fully evaluate the vulnerability of DNNs. A realistic evaluation would be with cases that consider targeted attacks; wherein the generated UAP causes the DNN to classify an input into a specific class. However, the development of UAPs for targeted attacks has largely fallen behind that of UAPs for non-targeted attacks. Therefore, we propose a simple iterative method to generate UAPs for targeted attacks. Our method combines the simple iterative method for generating non-targeted UAPs and the fast gradient sign method for generating a targeted adversarial perturbation for an input. We applied the proposed method to state-of-the-art DNN models for image classification and proved the existence of almost imperceptible UAPs for targeted attacks; further, we demonstrated that such UAPs can be easily generated.

The rapid advancement in pattern recognition via the deep learning method has made it possible to develop an autonomous medical image classification system. This system has proven robust and accurate in classifying most pathological features found in a medical image, such as airspace opacity, mass, and broken bone. Conventionally, this system takes routine medical images with minimum pre-processing as the model's input; in this research, we investigate if saliency maps can be an alternative model input. Recent research has shown that saliency maps' application increases deep learning model performance in image classification, object localization, and segmentation. However, conventional bottom-up saliency map algorithms regularly failed to localize salient or pathological anomalies in medical images. This failure is because most medical images are homogenous, lacking color, and contrast variant. Therefore, we also introduce the Xenafas algorithm in this paper. The algorithm creates a new kind of anomalous saliency map called the Intensity Probability Mapping and Weighted Intensity Probability Mapping. We tested the proposed saliency maps on five deep learning models based on common convolutional neural network architecture. The result of this experiment showed that using the proposed saliency map over regular radiograph chest images increases the sensitivity of most models in identifying images with air space opacities. Using the Grad-CAM algorithm, we showed how the proposed saliency map shifted the model attention to the relevant region in chest radiograph images. While in the qualitative study, it was found that the proposed saliency map regularly highlights anomalous features, including foreign objects and cardiomegaly. However, it is inconsistent in highlighting masses and nodules. ABSTRAK: Perkembangan pesat sistem pengecaman corak menggunakan kaedah pembelajaran mendalam membolehkan penghasilan sistem klasifikasi gambar perubatan secara automatik. Sistem ini berupaya menilai secara tepat jika terdapat tanda-tanda patologi di dalam gambar perubatan seperti kelegapan ruang udara, jisim dan tulang patah. Kebiasaannya, sistem ini akan mengambil gambar perubatan dengan pra-pemprosesan minimum sebagai input. Kajian ini adalah tentang potensi peta salien dapat dijadikan sebagai model input alternatif. Ini kerana kajian terkini telah menunjukkan penggunaan peta salien dapat meningkatkan prestasi model pembelajaran mendalam dalam pengklasifikasian gambar, pengesanan objek, dan segmentasi gambar. Walau bagaimanapun, sistem konvensional algoritma peta salien jenis bawah-ke-atas kebiasaannya gagal  mengesan salien atau anomali patologi dalam gambar-gambar perubatan. Kegagalan ini disebabkan oleh sifat gambar perubatan yang homogen, kurang variasi warna dan kontras. Oleh itu, kajian ini memperkenalkan algoritma Xenafas yang menghasilkan dua jenis pemetaan saliensi anomali iaitu Pemetaan Kebarangkalian Keamatan dan Pemetaan Kebarangkalian Keamatan Pemberat. Kajian dibuat pada peta salien yang dicadangkan iaitu pada lima model pembelajaran mendalam berdasarkan seni bina rangkaian neural konvolusi yang sama. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan dengan menggunakan peta salien atas gambar-gambar radiografi dada tetap membantu kesensitifan kebanyakan model dalam mengidentifikasi gambar-gambar dengan kelegapan ruang udara. Dengan menggunakan algoritma Grad-CAM, peta salien yang dicadangkan ini mampu mengalih fokus model kepada kawasan yang relevan kepada gambar radiografi dada. Sementara itu, kajian kualitatif ini juga menunjukkan algoritma yang dicadangkan mampu memberi ciri anomali, termasuk objek asing dan kardiomegali. Walau bagaimanapun, ianya tidak konsisten dalam menjelaskan berat dan nodul.

A repeatable and deterministic non-random weight initialization method in convolutional layers of neural networks examined with the Fast Gradient Sign Method (FSGM). Using the FSGM approach as a technique to measure the initialization effect with controlled distortions in transferred learning, varying the dataset numerical similarity. The focus is on convolutional layers with induced earlier learning through the use of striped forms for image classification. Which provided a higher performing accuracy in the first epoch, with improvements of between 3–5% in a well known benchmark model, and also ~10% in a color image dataset (MTARSI2), using a dissimilar model architecture. The proposed method is robust to limit optimization approaches like Glorot/Xavier and He initialization. Arguably the approach is within a new category of weight initialization methods, as a number sequence substitution of random numbers, without a tether to the dataset. When examined under the FGSM approach with transferred learning, the proposed method when used with higher distortions (numerically dissimilar datasets), is less compromised against the original cross-validation dataset, at ~31% accuracy instead of ~9%. This is an indication of higher retention of the original fitting in transferred learning.
