image-classification

This paper theoretically and empirically studies the relationship between counterfactual fairness (CF) and group fairness (GF) in image classification, introducing new CF evaluation datasets (CelebA-CF and LFW-CF). It finds that CF does not imply GF in images due to latent attributes correlated with sensitive attributes, and proposes Counterfactual Knowledge Distillation (CKD) to mitigate this.

This paper presents an empirical study comparing how different neural architectures (MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, pretrained transformers) degrade under temporal distribution shift across image and text domains, finding that models exploiting localized features degrade fastest while pretrained encoders drift more gradually.

This paper presents a scalable backpropagation-based algorithm for training deep convolutional networks to run on thermodynamic Ising hardware, achieving 94.9% on CIFAR-10 and 76.0% on CIFAR-100 while analyzing inference cost-accuracy tradeoffs.

A Rust crate for building and experimenting with Vision Transformer (ViT) models, providing typed configs, reusable structs, and runnable examples for research and production.

This paper proposes TONIC, a token-centric semantic communication framework for task-oriented wireless systems that assigns utility-aware unequal error protection to tokens and uses confidence-aware gating with a Transformer-based completion model, outperforming baselines on image classification.

This paper shows that cross-entropy and supervised contrastive learning are both forms of prototype learning on the hypersphere and proposes normalized losses (NTCE and NONL) that achieve Neural Collapse by design, outperforming standard methods.

This paper empirically investigates whether image classifier decision regions are simply connected by verifying if loops between images with the same label can be filled by label-preserving surfaces.

A comprehensive survey examining image classification into high-level and abstract categories, clarifying the tacit understanding of high-level semantics in computer vision through multidisciplinary analysis of commonsense, emotional, aesthetic, and interpretative semantics. The paper identifies persistent challenges in abstract concept image classification and emphasizes the importance of hybrid AI systems for addressing complex visual reasoning tasks.

Researchers study how adversarial robustness transfers across different perturbation types in deep neural networks, evaluating 32 attacks of 5 types on ImageNet models. Results show that robustness to one perturbation type doesn't always transfer to others and may sometimes hurt robustness elsewhere.
