Shift Registers Fool Finite Automata

Let x be an m-sequence, a maximal length sequence produced by a linear feedback shift register. We show that the nondeterministic automatic complexity AN (x) is close to maximal: n/2 − AN (x) = O(log 2 n), whereas Hyde has shown AN (y) ≤ n/2 + 1 for all sequences y.

Adversarial Examples that Fool Detectors

An adversarial example is an example that has been adjusted to produce a wrong label when presented to a system at test time. To date, adversarial example constructions have been demonstrated for classifiers, but not for detectors. If adversarial examples that could fool a detector exist, they could be used to (for example) maliciously create security hazards on roads populated with smart vehic...
