Query: White Noise Analysis of Neural Networks   A white noise analysis of modern deep neural networks is presented to unveil
their biases at the whole network level or the single neuron level. Our
analysis is based on two popular and related methods in psychophysics and
neurophysiology namely classification images and spike triggered analysis.
These methods have been widely used to understand the underlying mechanisms of
sensory systems in humans and monkeys. We leverage them to investigate the
inherent biases of deep neural networks and to obtain a first-order
approximation of their functionality. We emphasize on CNNs since they are
currently the state of the art methods in computer vision and are a decent
model of human visual processing. In addition, we study multi-layer
perceptrons, logistic regression, and recurrent neural networks. Experiments
over four classic datasets, MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and ImageNet, show
that the computed bias maps resemble the target classes and when used for
classification lead to an over twofold performance than the chance level.
Further, we show that classification images can be used to attack a black-box
classifier and to detect adversarial patch attacks. Finally, we utilize spike
triggered averaging to derive the filters of CNNs and explore how the behavior
of a network changes when neurons in different layers are modulated. Our effort
illustrates a successful example of borrowing from neurosciences to study ANNs
and highlights the importance of cross-fertilization and synergy across machine
learning, deep learning, and computational neuroscience.
