Abstract
This paper introduces a novel approach for building a robust Automatic Gesture Recognition system based on Surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signals, acquired at the forearm level. Our main contribution is to propose new constrained learning strategies that ensure robustness against adversarial perturbations by controlling the Lipschitz constant of the classifier. We focus on nonnegative neural networks for which accurate Lipschitz bounds can be derived, and we propose different spectral norm constraints offering robustness guarantees from a theoretical viewpoint. Experimental results on four publicly available datasets highlight that a good trade-off in terms of accuracy and performance is achieved. We then demonstrate the robustness of our models, compared to standard trained classifiers in four scenarios, considering both white-box and black-box attacks.
期刊介绍:
ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology is a scholarly journal that publishes the highest quality papers on intelligent systems, applicable algorithms and technology with a multi-disciplinary perspective. An intelligent system is one that uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to offer important services (e.g., as a component of a larger system) to allow integrated systems to perceive, reason, learn, and act intelligently in the real world.
ACM TIST is published quarterly (six issues a year). Each issue has 8-11 regular papers, with around 20 published journal pages or 10,000 words per paper. Additional references, proofs, graphs or detailed experiment results can be submitted as a separate appendix, while excessively lengthy papers will be rejected automatically. Authors can include online-only appendices for additional content of their published papers and are encouraged to share their code and/or data with other readers.
