Fine-tuning Is Not Enough: A Simple yet Effective Watermark Removal Attack for DNN Models

2021

Watermarking has become the tendency in protecting the intellectual property of DNN models. Recent works, from the adversary's perspective, attempted to subvert watermarking mechanisms by designing watermark removal attacks. However, these attacks mainly adopted sophisticated …

What Sketch Explainability Really Means for Downstream Tasks?

2024

In this paper, we explore the unique modality of sketch for explainability, emphasising the profound impact of human strokes compared to conventional pixel-oriented studies. Beyond explanations of network behavior, we discern the genuine implications of …

SFCM-AEG: Source-Free Cross-Modal Adversarial Example Generation

2025 · IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

In this paper, we present a novel task of source-free cross-modal adversarial example generation, which generates adversarial examples based on textual descriptions of attackers. This task has two challenges as follows. First, how to generate …
