| 2023 | Anomaly and Novelty detection for Satellite and Drone systems (ANSD '23)abstractIn recent times, there has been a notable surge in the amount of vision and sensing/time-series data obtained from drones and satellites.This data can be utilized in various fields, such as precision agriculture, disaster management, environmental monitoring, and others.However, the analysis of such data poses significant challenges due to its complexity, heterogeneity, and scale.Furthermore, it is critical to identify anomalies and maintain/monitor the health of drones and satellite systems to enable the aforementioned applications and sciences.This workshop presents an excellent opportunity to explore solutions that specifically target the detection of anomalies and novel occurrences in drones and satellite systems and their data.For more information, visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/ansd23.

| 2022 | Towards an Awareness of Time Series Anomaly Detection Models' Adversarial VulnerabilityabstractTime series anomaly detection is extensively studied in statistics, economics, and computer science. Over the years, numerous methods have been proposed for time series anomaly detection using deep learning-based methods. Many of these methods demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets, giving the false impression that these systems are robust and deployable in many practical and industrial real-world scenarios. In this paper, we demonstrate that the performance of state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods is degraded substantially by adding only small adversarial perturbations to the sensor data. We use different scoring metrics such as prediction errors, anomaly, and classification scores over several public and private datasets ranging from aerospace applications, server machines, to cyber-physical systems in power plants. Under well-known adversarial attacks from Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) methods, we demonstrate that state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) and graph neural networks (GNNs) methods, which claim to be robust against anomalies and have been possibly integrated in real-life systems, have their performance drop to as low as 0%. To the best of our understanding, we demonstrate, for the first time, the vulnerabilities of anomaly detection systems against adversarial attacks. The overarching goal of this research is to raise awareness towards the adversarial vulnerabilities of time series anomaly detectors. Shahroz Tariq, Binh Minh Le, Simon S. Woo |

| 2022 | Am I a Real or Fake Celebrity? Evaluating Face Recognition and Verification APIs under Deepfake Impersonation AttackabstractRecent advancements in web-based multimedia technologies, such as face recognition web services powered by deep learning, have been significant. As a result, companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Naver provide highly accurate commercial face recognition web services for a variety of multimedia applications. Naturally, such technologies face persistent threats, as virtually anyone with access to deepfakes can quickly launch impersonation attacks. These attacks pose a serious threat to authentication services, which rely heavily on the performance of their underlying face recognition technologies. Despite its gravity, deepfake abuse involving commercial web services and their robustness have not been thoroughly measured and investigated. By conducting a case study on celebrity face recognition, we examine the robustness of black-box commercial face recognition web APIs and open-source tools against Deepfake Impersonation (DI) attacks. While the majority of APIs do not make specific claims of deepfake robustness, we find that authentication mechanisms may get built one top of them, nonetheless. We demonstrate the vulnerability of face recognition technologies to DI attacks, achieving respective success rates of 78.0% for targeted (TA) attacks; we also propose mitigation strategies, lowering respective attack success rates to as low as 1.26% for TA attacks with adversarial training.

| 2021 | One Detector to Rule Them All: Towards a General Deepfake Attack Detection FrameworkabstractDeep learning-based video manipulation methods have become widely accessible to the masses. With little to no effort, people can quickly learn how to generate deepfake (DF) videos. While deep learning-based detection methods have been proposed to identify specific types of DFs, their performance suffers for other types of deepfake methods, including real-world deepfakes, on which they are not sufficiently trained. In other words, most of the proposed deep learning-based detection methods lack transferability and generalizability. Beyond detecting a single type of DF from benchmark deepfake datasets, we focus on developing a generalized approach to detect multiple types of DFs, including deepfakes from unknown generation methods such as DeepFake-in-the-Wild (DFW) videos. To better cope with unknown and unseen deepfakes, we introduce a Convolutional LSTM-based Residual Network (CLRNet), which adopts a unique model training strategy and explores spatial as well as the temporal information in a deepfakes. Through extensive experiments, we show that existing defense methods are not ready for real-world deployment. Whereas our defense method (CLRNet) achieves far better generalization when detecting various benchmark deepfake methods (97.57% on average). Furthermore, we evaluate our approach with a high-quality DeepFake-in-the-Wild dataset, collected from the Internet containing numerous videos and having more than 150,000 frames. Our CLRNet model demonstrated that it generalizes well against high-quality DFW videos by achieving 93.86% detection accuracy, outperforming existing state-of-the-art defense methods by a considerable margin.

| 2020 | ITAD: Integrative Tensor-based Anomaly Detection System for Reducing False Positives of Satellite SystemsabstractReducing false positives while detecting anomalies is of growing importance for various industrial applications and mission-critical infrastructures, including satellite systems. Undesired false positives can be costly for such systems, bringing the operation to a halt for human experts to determine if the anomalies are true anomalies that need to be mitigated. Although rule-based or machine learning-based anomaly detection approaches have been studied, a tensor-based decomposition method has not been extensively explored. In this work, we introduce an Integrative Tensor-based Anomaly Detection (ITAD) framework to detect anomalies in a satellite system with the goal of minimizing false positives. We construct 3rd-order tensors with telemetry data collected from the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2 (KOMPSAT-2) and calculate the anomaly score using one of the component matrices obtained by applying CANDECOMP/PARAFAC decomposition to detect anomalies. Our result shows that our tensor-based approach outperforms existing methods, achieving higher accuracy and lower false positive rates. And we successfully deployed our anomaly detection system in real KOMPSAT-2 mission operation. Youjin Shin, Sangyup Lee, Shahroz Tariq, Myeong Shin Lee, Okchul Jung, Daewon Chung, Simon S. Woo |

| 2019 | Detecting Anomalies in Space using Multivariate Convolutional LSTM with Mixtures of Probabilistic PCAabstractDetecting an anomaly is not only important for many terrestrial applications on Earth but also for space applications. Especially, satellite missions are highly risky because unexpected hardware and software failures can occur due to sudden or unforeseen space environment changes. Anomaly detection and spacecraft health monitoring systems have heavily relied on human expertise to investigate whether they are a true anomaly or not. Also, it is practically infeasible to produce labels on data due to the enormous amount of telemetries generated from a satellite. In this work, we propose a data-driven anomaly detection algorithm for Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite 2 (KOMPSAT-2). We develop a Multivariate Convolution LSTM with Mixtures of Probabilistic Principal Component Analyzers, where our approach uses both neural networks and probabilistic clustering to improve the anomaly detection performance. We evaluated our approach with a total of 22 million telemetry samples collected for 10 months from KOMPSAT-2. We also compare our approach with other state-of-the-art approaches. We show that our proposed approach is 35.8% better in precision, and 18.2% better in F-1 score than the best baseline approach. We plan to deploy our algorithm in the second half of 2019 to actually apply real operation of KOMPSAT-2. Shahroz Tariq, Sangyup Lee, Youjin Shin, Myeong Shin Lee, Okchul Jung, Daewon Chung, Simon S.
