Intrinsic Robustness
Intrinsic robustness in machine learning focuses on developing systems that maintain performance despite inherent uncertainties or variations in input data, rather than relying solely on external defenses. Current research investigates this through various approaches, including adversarial training, improved data augmentation techniques, and analyses of model architectures like neural ordinary differential equations and transformers, aiming to understand and enhance the inherent resilience of models. This research is crucial for building reliable and dependable AI systems across diverse applications, from robotics and natural language processing to computer vision and remote sensing, where real-world data is inherently noisy and unpredictable.
