Weakly Supervised Learning Guided by Activation Mapping Applied to a Novel Citrus Pest Benchmark [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Pests and diseases are relevant factors for production losses in agriculture and, therefore, promote a huge investment in the prevention and detection of its causative agents. In many countries, Integrated Pest Management is the most widely used process to prevent and mitigate the damages caused by pests and diseases in citrus crops.

Bad Citrus: Reducing Adversarial Costs with Model Distances [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Recent work by Jia et al., showed the possibility of effectively computing pairwise model distances in weight space, using a model explanation technique known as LIME. This method requires query-only access to the two models under examination. We argue this insight can be leveraged by an adversary to reduce the net cost (number of queries) of launching
