Explainable artificial intelligence techniques have been developed in response to concerns about the opaqueness of many AI techniques, given their potential impact. Explainable techniques, though, do not guarantee performance – instead, they simply explain what was recommended or decided. This paper discusses how a new class of AI techniques, defensible AI (DAI) can increase public trust in AI. Issues with existing techniques are reviewed and an example DAI technique is presented and its benefits – relative to reliability, trust and security – are assessed.","PeriodicalId":301162,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126684692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, synthetic data is increasingly being looked to as a source for labeled training datasets to be used with supervised deep learning algorithms. WAMI (wide-area motion imagery) is sequential, oblique imagery, typically taken from an aircraft or drone, at city scale. Collecting a WAMI dataset can represent a significant investment of resources and logistics. However, the availability of synthetic WAMI datasets could overcome these concerns as well as potentially add benefits such as having associated ground truth. Recently, Google released Earth Studio, a browser-based animation tool that uses a 3D rendering engine to generate WAMI-like datasets across the globe. When working with synthetic data, a key point of concern is whether the synthetic data is sufficiently realistic for the purpose at hand. In this paper, we generate rendered WAMI datasets using Google Earth Studio. The rendered datasets are of the same locations for which we also have real WAMI datasets, and we then analyze the WAMI dataset and the images rendered by Google Earth Studio based on 3D reconstruction and feature evaluation of the dataset to determine how feasible synthetic datasets are in comparison to non-synthetic ones.","PeriodicalId":301162,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127769730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AI is no stranger to \"winters\", or drops in funding and interest in the technology and its applications. Many in the field consider the early 1970's as the first AI winter with another proceeding in the late 1990's and early 2000's. There is some consensus that another AI winter is all but inevitable in some shape or form, however, current thoughts on the next winter do not consider secure and robust AI and the implications of the success or failure of these areas. The emergence of AI as an operational technology introduces potential vulnerabilities to AI's longevity. The National Security Commission on AI (NSCAI) report outlines recommendations for building secure and robust AI, particularly in government and Department of Defense (DoD) applications. However, are they enough to help us fully secure AI systems and prevent the next \"AI winter\"? An approaching \"AI Winter\" would have a tremendous impact in DoD systems as well as those of our adversaries. Understanding and analyzing the potential of this event would better prepare us for such an outcome as well as help us understand the tools needed to counter and prevent this \"winter\" by securing and robustifying our AI systems. In this paper, we introduce the following four pillars of AI assurance, that if implemented, will help us to avoid the next AI winter: security, fairness, trust, and resilience.","PeriodicalId":301162,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123932905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the full 24/7 operation, the Intelligent Transportation Services (ITS) are expected to perform well on all the categories of the target detections in the environment. Unfortunately, most existing datasets do not cover all these difficult conditions. Moreover, the state-of-the-art Deep Learning detector performance decreases for these difficult conditions. This paper reports on the training of an object detection system using a range of traffic scenarios: sunny, rainy, snowy, one-side road, two-side road, complex road structures with occlusions, heavy traffic with congestion, light traffic, and reduced traffic at night. The state-of-the-art object detector of YOLOv5x is used for vehicle detection and is fine-tuned on this new diverse dataset through transfer learning. Transfer learning freezes the backbone network while training the remaining fully connected network. To further improve the detection performance, we added two convolutional block attention modules (CBAM) to the neck as our proposed system: 2xCBAM-YOLOv5. Several experiments refined the number of CBAMs and the placement of these modules to optimize performance. Doing transfer learning alone, the mean Average Precision(mAP) on the test data improves from 75.9% to 78.9%. After transfer learning, ablations were done on YOLOv5x combined with the new CBAMs. The resulting mAP reaches 85.0%, while precision improves from 82.3% to 88.2%, recall improves from 72.3% to 80.4% and F1-score improves from 0.77 to 0.841 compared with transfer learning alone.

The performance of these machine learning algorithms is high. Still, their security has been neglected for some reason, which leaves the door open to various vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to compromise systems. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the security of machine learning algorithms to prevent them from being spoofed by malicious hackers.

These algorithms suffer from an explainability problem however, and few have been implemented in clinical practice. We investigated explainability and various normalization techniques for PCA by optimizing the computational attributes that correspond to those that radiologists typically consider, including contrast and homogeneity. An open-source ProstateX dataset consisting of 330 (254 non-clinically significant, 76 clinically-significant cancerous) T2-weighted prostate MRIs and a corresponding previously trained high accuracy CNN (a ResNet) were used to evaluate causes of high performance. Data were preprocessed to isolate differences in contrast and homogeneity through: (1) varying the contrast to be 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, and 175% of the original image by varying alpha in the OpenCV module in Python, (2) Thresholding the image (where pixels < 45%, 50%, and 55% of the average were set to 0), and (3) applying Canny edge detection. The ResNet model was retrained on each preprocessed dataset with the same set of parameters as was used for the initial model, and performance was evaluated. Model results were evaluated through 5-fold cross validation. Model performance at baseline on the MRI data matched the performance of the original winners of the ProstateX challenge (AUC 0.84). Thresholding the image at 50% (AUC 0.87) and increasing contrast of the image to 1.5x the baseline (AUC 0.83) also combined with Canny Edge Detection (AUC 0.83) matched baseline performance, indicating these features were important to the original model. Decreasing the contrast by 0.75x or 0.50x universally decreased model performance. Use of three popular normalization techniques to isolate features of interest and possible explainability in a machine learning model for prostate cancer found that no normalized data was able to outperform a baseline model. However, several perturbations resulted in statistically significantly decreased performance. These results indicated that if contrast is reduced from a baseline or if Canny edge detection is used without increased whole-image contrast, model performance suffers. Future research into normalization techniques is recommended to continue to improve prostate cancer model performance.","PeriodicalId":301162,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122683770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
