LipSSD: Lipschitz-Constrained Single-Shot Detection for Adversarially Robust Object Detection

Object detectors have many applications in safety-critical systems, but they are known to be sensitive to worst-case perturbations such as adversarial attacks, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. Compared with classification, adversarial robustness for object detection has received less attention, and existing methods are often tied to adversarial training, whose performance may not transfer across attacks, perturbation budgets, or architectures.

Generative Verification: Rethinking the Uncertainty Signal for Active Learning of Object Detection

Generative Verification introduces an active learning strategy for object detection that uses an independent generative model to re‑derive a detection’s label from the pixels inside its predicted box. The disagreement between the detector’s label and the verifier’s label serves as the acquisition signal, automatically combining localization and classification errors into a single scalar and eliminating the need for hand‑weighted terms. Experiments on PASCAL VOC and MS‑COCO show that this signal outperforms traditional uncertainty and ensemble criteria, improving mAP50 by about one point per round, especially in early rounds where confident detector errors are most common.
