VACCINATION SHIELD.

Shield: Fast, Practical Defense and Vaccination for Deep Learning using JPEG Compression

The rapidly growing body of research in adversarial machine learning has demonstrated that deep neural networks (DNNs) are highly vulnerable to adversarially generated images. This underscores the urgent need for practical defense techniques that can be readily deployed to combat attacks in real-time. Observing that many attack strategies aim to perturb image pixels in ways that are visually im...

The Guiana Shield

Highland areas that serve as sources and boundaries for the great rivers of South America can be broadly divided into two categories based on their geologic age and origin. As reviewed elsewhere in this volume (Chapters 15 and 16), the allochthonous terrains and massive crustal deformations of the Andes Mountains that comprise the extremely high-elevation western margin of South America have th...

The Dalkon Shield

The Dalkon Shield was an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) that women used in the early 1970s and 1980s. Produced by the A.H. Robins Company in the US, the Dalkon Shield was a contraceptive device placed directly into a woman?s uterus [3] that was supposed to prevent pregnancy [4]. In the 1980s, researchers discovered that the Dalkon Shield caused an array of severe injuries, including pe...
