Neural Network Adversarial Attack Method Based on Improved Genetic Algorithm

Deep learning algorithms are widely used in fields such as computer vision and natural language processing, but they are vulnerable to security threats from adversarial attacks because of their internal presence of a large number of nonlinear functions and parameters leading to their uninterpretability. In this paper, we propose a neural network adversarial attack method based on an improved genetic algorithm. The improved genetic algorithm improves the variation and crossover links based on the original genetic optimization algorithm, which greatly improves the iteration efficiency and shortens the running time. The method does not need the internal structure and parameter information of the neural network model, and it can obtain the adversarial samples with high confidence in a short time by the classification and confidence information of the neural network. The experimental results show that the method in this paper has a wide range of applicability and high efficiency for the model, and provides a new idea for the adversarial attack.

Deep Learning Based Steel Pipe Weld Defect Detection

Steel pipes are widely used in high-risk and high-pressure scenarios such as oil, chemical, natural gas, shale gas, etc. If there is some defect in steel pipes, it will lead to serious adverse consequences. Applying object detection in the field of deep learning to pipe weld defect detection and identification can effectively improve inspection efficiency and promote the development of industrial automation. Most predecessors used traditional computer vision methods applied to detect defects of steel pipe weld seams. However, traditional computer vision methods rely on prior knowledge and can only detect defects with a single feature, so it is difficult to complete the task of multi-defect classification, while deep learning is end-to-end. In this paper, the state-of-the-art single-stage object detection algorithm YOLOv5 is proposed to be applied to the field of steel pipe weld defect detection, and compared with the two-stage representative object detection algorithm Faster R-CNN. The experimental results show that applying YOLOv5 to steel pipe weld defect detection can greatly improve the accuracy, complete the multi-classification task, and meet the criteria of real-time detection.
