This monograph presents a comprehensive exploration of Reverse Engineering of Deceptions (RED) in the field of adversarial machine learning. It delves into the intricacies of machine and human-centric attacks, providing a holistic understanding of how adversarial strategies can be reverse-engineered to safeguard AI systems. For machine-centric attacks, reverse engineering methods for pixel-level perturbations are covered, as well as adversarial saliency maps and victim model information in adversarial examples. In the realm of human-centric attacks, the focus shifts to generative model information inference and manipulation localization from generated images. In this work, a forward-looking perspective on the challenges and opportunities associated with RED are presented. In addition, foundational and practical insights in the realms of AI security and trustworthy computer vision are provided.

Robust Automatic Speech Recognition: A Bridge to Practical Applications establishes a solid foundation for automatic speech recognition that is robust against acoustic environmental distortion. It provides a thorough overview of classical and modern noise-and reverberation robust techniques that have been developed over the past thirty years, with an emphasis on practical methods that have been proven to be successful and which are likely to be further developed for future applications. The strengths and weaknesses of robustness-enhancing speech recognition techniques are carefully analyzed. The book covers noise-robust techniques designed for acoustic models which are based on both Gaussian mixture models and deep neural networks. In addition, a guide to selecting the best methods for practical applications is provided. The reader will: Gain a unified, deep and systematic understanding of the state-of-the-art technologies for robust speech recognition Learn the links and relationship between alternative technologies for robust speech recognition Be able to use the technology analysis and categorization detailed in the book to guide future technology development Be able to develop new noise-robust methods in the current era of deep learning for acoustic modeling in speech recognition
