Poison Attacks against Text Datasets with Conditional Adversarially Regularized Autoencoder [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper demonstrates a fatal vulnerability in natural language inference (NLI) and text classification systems. More concretely, we present a 'backdoor poisoning' attack on NLP models. Our poisoning attack utilizes conditional adversarially regularized autoencoder (CARA) to generate poisoned training samples by poison injection in latent space. Just

Antidote application: an educational system for treatment of common toxin overdose [PDF]
, 2017 Poisonings account for almost 1% of emergency room visits each year. Time is a critical factor in dealing with a toxicologic emergency. Delay in dispensing the first antidote dose can lead to life-threatening sequelae.

Multiple-dose activated charcoal in acute self-poisoning: a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
, 2008 SummaryBackgroundThe case-fatality for intentional self-poisoning in the rural developing world is 10–50-fold higher than that in industrialised countries, mostly because of the use of highly toxic pesticides and plants.

Accumulative Poisoning Attacks on Real-time Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Collecting training data from untrusted sources exposes machine learning services to poisoning adversaries, who maliciously manipulate training data to degrade the model accuracy. When trained on offline datasets, poisoning adversaries have to inject the poisoned data in advance before training, and the order of feeding these poisoned batches into the ...

What Distributions are Robust to Indiscriminate Poisoning Attacks for Linear Learners? [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study indiscriminate poisoning for linear learners where an adversary injects a few crafted examples into the training data with the goal of forcing the induced model to incur higher test error. Inspired by the observation that linear learners on some datasets are able to resist the best known attacks even without any defenses, we further ...

Use of Snake Antivenom and Clinical Outcomes in Snake Envenomation: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital in Penang, Malaysia [PDF]
Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, 2019 Backgrounds: Snake antivenom (SAV) is the definitive treatment for snake envenomation. But SAVs are specific, expensive and limited in supply. SAVs also come with risk of adverse reactions.
