During the past decades, significant progress has been made in the field of artificial neural networks to process images (Convolutional Neural Networks), audio signals (Temporal Convolutional Networks), or textual information (Transformers). However, for electrical three-phase signals processing, these network architectures ignore important characteristics and therefore lack of computational efficiency. This can lead to performance problems and limits the application potential of neural networks for a fast and efficient local analysis of three-phase electrical current or voltage waveforms. To address this issue, a novel autoencoder architecture is proposed in this paper, which incorporates Clark-Park transformation to learn the representations of three-phase electrical signals. Using unbalanced and noisy voltage signals, the Clark-Park based autoencoder shows superior performance and computational efficiency compared to recurrent and convolutional benchmark architectures.

In this work, we leverage visual prompting (VP) to improve adversarial robustness of a fixed, pre-trained model at test time. Compared to conventional adversarial defenses, VP allows us to design universal (i.e., data-agnostic) input prompting templates, which have plug-and-play capabilities at test time to achieve desired model performance without introducing much computation overhead. Although VP has been successfully applied to improving model generalization, it remains elusive whether and how it can be used to defend against adversarial attacks. We investigate this problem and show that the vanilla VP approach is not effective in adversarial defense since a universal input prompt lacks the capacity for robust learning against sample-specific adversarial perturbations. To circumvent it, we propose a new VP method, termed Class-wise Adversarial Visual Prompting (C-AVP), to generate class-wise visual prompts so as to not only leverage the strengths of ensemble prompts but also optimize their interrelations to improve model robustness. Our experiments show that C-AVP outperforms the conventional VP method, with 2.1× standard accuracy gain and 2× robust accuracy gain. Compared to classical test-time defenses, C-AVP also yields a 42× inference time speedup. Code is available at https://***/Phoveran/vp-for-adversarial-robustness.

To ensure the security of airports, it is essential to protect the airside from unauthorized access. For this pur-pose, security fences are commonly used, but they require regular inspection to detect damages. However, due to the growing shortage of human specialists and the large man-ual effort, there is the need for automated methods. The aim is to automatically inspect the fence for damage with the help of an autonomous robot. In this work, we explore object detection methods to address the fence inspection task and localize various types of damages. In addition to evaluating four State-of-the-Art (SOTA) object detection models, we analyze the impact of several design criteria, aiming at adapting to the task-specific challenges. This in-cludes contrast adjustment, optimization of hyperparameters, and utilization of modern backbones. The experimental results indicate that our optimized You Only Look Once v5 (YOLOv5) model achieves the highest accuracy of the four methods with an increase of 6.9% points in Average Precision (AP) compared to the baseline. Moreover, we show the real-time capability of the model. The trained models are published on GitHub: hups://***/IN-Friederichlairport_fence_inspection.

Fine-grained vehicle classification describes the task of estimating the make and the model of a vehicle based on an image. It provides a useful tool for security authorities to find suspects in surveillance cameras. However, most research about fine-grained vehicle classification is only focused on a closed-set scenario which considers all possible classes to be included in the training. This is not realistic for real-world surveillance applications where the images fed into the classifier can be of arbitrary vehicle models and the large number of commercially available vehicle models renders learning all models impossible. Thus, we investigate fine-grained vehicle classification in an open-set recognition scenario which includes unknown vehicle models in the test set and expects these samples to be rejected. Our experiments highlight the importance of label smoothing for open-set recognition performance. Nonetheless, it lacks recognizing the different semantic distances between vehicle models which result in largely different confusion probabilities. Thus, we propose a knowledge-distillation-based label smoothing approach which considers these different semantic similarities and thus, improves the closed-set classification as well as the open-set recognition performance.

Automated machinelearning (AutoML) was formed around the fundamental objectives of automatically and efficiently configuring machinelearning (ML) workflows, aiding the research of new ML algorithms, and contributing to the democratization of ML by making it accessible to a broader audience. Over the past decade, commendable achievements in AutoML have primarily focused on optimizing predictive performance. This focused progress, while substantial, raises questions about how well AutoML has met its broader, original goals. In this position paper, we argue that a key to unlocking AutoML's full potential lies in addressing the currently underexplored aspect of user interaction with AutoML systems, including their diverse roles, expectations, and expertise. We envision a more human-centered approach in future AutoML research, promoting the collaborative design of ML systems that tightly integrates the complementary strengths of human expertise and AutoML methodologies.
