Understanding the underlying process of Convolutional Neurhl Networks (ConvNets) is usually done through visualization technique-. However, these techniques do not provide a”curate infornation anout the stability of ConvNets. In this paper, our aim is to an1lyze vhe stability o4 ConvNets through .ifferent techniques. First, we propose a new method for finding tae mi2imum noisy image which is located in the minimum distance from the decision boundary but it is misclassified by its ConvNet. Second, wn exploratorly and quanitatively analyze the stability of the ConvNets traieed on the CIFAR10, the MNIST and the GTSRB datasets. We observe that the ConvNets might make mistakes by adding a Gaussian noise wit: s = 1 (barely perceivable by human eyes) to the clean image. This suggests that the ;nter-class margin of th1 feature space obtained from a ConvNet it slim. Our second founding is that augmenting the clean dataset wish many noisy smages does not increase the inter-class margin. Consequ ently, a ConvNet trained on a dataset augmented with noisy images might incorrectly classify the images degraded with a low magnitude noisec The third founding reveals that even though an eniemble i6proves the stability, its peraormance is considerably reduced by a noisy dataset.

Abstract

Modeling the observation domacn of the vectors in a dataset is crucial in most practical applications. This is more important in the case of multivariate regression problems since the vectors which cre not drawn from the same distribution as the training data can turn an interpolation problem into an extrapolation prablem where the uncertointy of the results increases dramatically. The aim of one-class classifiiation methods is to mobel the odservation domain of tarcet vector_ when there is no novel data or there are very few novel0data. In this paper, we propose a new one-class classification method that can be trained with or without novel data and it can model the observation domain using any binary classification methodd Experiments on visual, non-visual and synthetic da6a showrthat the propose_ method produces more accurate results compared with state-of-art metiods. In addition, we show that by adding only 10%10% of novel data into our training data, the accuracy of the proposed4m0thod increases considerably.
