Ensembling as a Defense Against Adversarial Examples
Adversarial attacks on machine learning systems take two main flavors. First, there are trainingtime attacks, which involve compromising the training data that the system is trained on. Unsurprisingly, machines can misclassify examples, if they are trained on malicious data. Second, there are test-time attacks, which involve crafting an adversarial example, which a human would easily classify a...
متن کاملMicrovillar cell surface as a natural defense system against xenobiotics: a new interpretation of multidrug resistance.
The phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) is reinterpreted on the basis of the recently proposed concept of microvillar signaling. According to this notion, substrate and ion fluxes across the surface of differentiated cells occur via transporters and ion channels that reside in membrane domains at the tips of microvilli (MV). The flux rates are regulated by the actin-based cytoskeletal core...
متن کاملMenstruation as a defense against pathogens transported by sperm.
Sperm are vectors of disease. During mammalian insemination bacteria from the male and female genitalia regularly cling to sperm tails and are transported to the uterus. I propose that menstruation functions to protect the uterus and oviducts from colonization by pathogens. Menstrual blood exerts mechanical pressure on uterine tissue, forcing it to shed, and delivers large numbers of immune cel...
متن کاملSperm dumping as a defense against meiotic drive
Sperm from Drosophila simulans that carry a sex-ratio distorter is preferentially lost from females' sperm-storage organs. This suggests that sperm dumping is a major factor affecting sperm competition in this species, and may have evolved in response to sex-ratio distorters.
متن کاملProtein washdown as a defense mechanism against myocardial edema.
Myocardial edema occurs in many pathological conditions. We hypothesized that protein washdown at the myocardial microvascular exchange barrier would change the distribution of interstitial proteins from large to small molecules and diminish the effect of washdown on the colloid osmotic pressure (COP) of interstitial fluid and lymph. Dogs were instrumented with coronary sinus balloon-tipped cat...
