CSI Neural Network: Using Side-channels to Recover Your Artificial Neural Network Information
Machine learning has become mainstream across industries. Numerous examples
proved the validity of it for security applications. In this work, we
investigate how to reverse engineer a neural network by using only power
side-channel information. To this end, we consider a multilayer perceptron as
the machine learning architecture of choice and assume a non-invasive and
eavesdropping attacker capable of measuring only passive side-channel leakages
like power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, and reaction time.
We conduct all experiments on real data and common neural net architectures
in order to properly assess the applicability and extendability of those
attacks. Practical results are shown on an ARM CORTEX-M3 microcontroller. Our
experiments show that the side-channel attacker is capable of obtaining the
following information: the activation functions used in the architecture, the
number of layers and neurons in the layers, the number of output classes, and
weights in the neural network. Thus, the attacker can effectively reverse
engineer the network using side-channel information.
Next, we show that once the attacker has the knowledge about the neural
network architecture, he/she could also recover the inputs to the network with
only a single-shot measurement. Finally, we discuss several mitigations one
could use to thwart such attacks.Comment: 15 pages, 16 figure
Crossing Generative Adversarial Networks for Cross-View Person Re-identification
Person re-identification (\textit{re-id}) refers to matching pedestrians
across disjoint yet non-overlapping camera views. The most effective way to
match these pedestrians undertaking significant visual variations is to seek
reliably invariant features that can describe the person of interest
faithfully. Most of existing methods are presented in a supervised manner to
produce discriminative features by relying on labeled paired images in
correspondence. However, annotating pair-wise images is prohibitively expensive
in labors, and thus not practical in large-scale networked cameras. Moreover,
seeking comparable representations across camera views demands a flexible model
to address the complex distributions of images. In this work, we study the
co-occurrence statistic patterns between pairs of images, and propose to
crossing Generative Adversarial Network (Cross-GAN) for learning a joint
distribution for cross-image representations in a unsupervised manner. Given a
pair of person images, the proposed model consists of the variational
auto-encoder to encode the pair into respective latent variables, a proposed
cross-view alignment to reduce the view disparity, and an adversarial layer to
seek the joint distribution of latent representations. The learned latent
representations are well-aligned to reflect the co-occurrence patterns of
paired images. We empirically evaluate the proposed model against challenging
datasets, and our results show the importance of joint invariant features in
improving matching rates of person re-id with comparison to semi/unsupervised
state-of-the-arts.Comment: 12 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1702.03431 by

A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community
In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs),
has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech
recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS)
possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and
applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g.,
statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS
community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements
like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art
RS DL research. We also review recent new developments in the DL field that can
be used in DL for RS. Namely, we focus on theories, tools and challenges for
the RS community. Specifically, we focus on unsolved challenges and
opportunities as it relates to (i) inadequate data sets, (ii)
human-understandable solutions for modelling physical phenomena, (iii) Big
Data, (iv) non-traditional heterogeneous data sources, (v) DL architectures and
learning algorithms for spectral, spatial and temporal data, (vi) transfer
learning, (vii) an improved theoretical understanding of DL systems, (viii)
high barriers to entry, and (ix) training and optimizing the DL.Comment: 64 pages, 411 references. To appear in Journal of Applied Remote
