Adversarial Machine Learning in Cyber Social Security
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Machine learning plays a crucial role in autonomous vehicles, particularly in driver assistance technologies that enhance driving efficiency or eliminate the need for human intervention. One critical application is traffic sign recognition, which helps vehicles adjust their driving behavior based on environmental conditions. However, these systems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, such as evasion and poisoning, which can compromise security, system integrity, and passenger safety. These attacks target machine learning models by corrupting training processes, leading to misclassifications and false information. Given that these models rely on sensor-acquired images, it is essential to investigate potential threats that could impact autonomous vehicles. Therefore, this research conducts an experimental analysis of Black-Box Adversarial Machine Learning Attacks, specifically Zeroth-Order Optimization (ZOO), on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for traffic sign recognition. By leveraging optimization techniques, the study aims to assess the risks posed by these attacks on autonomous vehicles and their implications in Multi-Domain Operation (MDO) contexts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
