Google's latest DeepMind research: Adversarial attacks are also effective against humans, and both humans and AI will recognize the vase as a cat!
Neural networks in the real world are powerful, but they are completely different from the way humans perceive, Xi, and understand. ANNs, for example, exhibit vulnerabilities that are not normally found in human perception, and they are susceptible to adversarial perturbations. An image may only need to modify the value of a few pixels, or add some noisy data, and from a human perspective, no difference can be observed, while for an image classification network, it will be recognized as a completely unrelated category. However, a new study by Google's DeepMind suggests that our previous perception may be wrong! Even subtle changes in digital images can affect human perception. In other words, human judgment is also affected by this adversarial perturbation. (New Zhiyuan)
