Are Transformers Effective for Time Series Forecasting?

Ailing Zeng, Muxi Chen, Lei Zhang, Qiang Xu
AAAI 2023 (Oral)
This work questions the effectiveness of emerging favored Transformer-based solutions for the long- term time series forecasting problem. We propose a simple but effective linear model LTSF-Linear as a baseline to verify our claim.

What You See in Not What the Network Infers:Detecting Adversarial Examples Based on Semantic Contradiction.

Yijun Yang, Ruiyuan Gao, Yu Li, Qiuxia Lai, Qiang Xu
NDSS 2022
We figure out the contradiction capsuled in AEs, i.e. their semantic information is inconsistent with the discriminative features extracted by the victim DNN model. By leveraging above contradiction, we propose a generative model based AE detection framework, namely, ContraNet, which outperforms existing methods by a large margin, especially under adaptive attacks.
