TreeFI: Value-Aware Statistical Fault Injection for Deep Neural Networks

TreeFI is a value‑aware statistical fault‑injection technique for FP32 single‑bit faults in deep neural network activations and weights. It partitions each layer’s value distribution into intervals with similar expected bit‑flip behavior using regression trees, then allocates injections across these intervals based on their relevance for failure‑rate estimation. This stratified approach preserves target confidence and error margins while dramatically reducing the required injection budget—up to 72.1× for activations and 11.2× for weights compared to existing baselines.

Understanding Fault Tolerance of Adversarially Robust Pruned Models

arXiv:2608. 04173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) deployed on resource-constrained neuromorphic hardware face three concurrent challenges: the need for model compression through pruning, vulnerability to adversarial input perturbations, and susceptibility to hardware-induced weight faults such as stuck-at-zero errors.

DeepBias: Adaptive In-depth Probing of Social Biases in LVLMs

While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities, they remain highly susceptible to embedded social biases. Existing bias evaluation protocols predominantly rely on static datasets, which provide only a superficial assessment, as their fixed test cases cannot adaptively evolve to measure the true depth and limits of model vulnerabilities.
