The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about knowledge and skills in advanced master-level STEM courses. Consider a binary classification problem with classifier $f(\mathbf{x})$ given by $$ f(\mathbf{x})= \begin{cases}1, & g(\mathbf{x}) \geq 0 \\ -1, & g(\mathbf{x})<0\end{cases} $$ and $\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^{6}$. Consider a specific pair $(\mathbf{x}, y=1)$ and assume that $g(\mathbf{x})=8$. In particular this means that this point is classified correctly by $f$. Assume further that we have computed the gradient of $g$ at $\mathbf{x}$ to be $\nabla_{\mathbf{x}} g(\mathbf{x})=(+1,-2,+3,-4,+5,-6)$. You are allowed to make one step in order to (hopefully) find an adversarial example. In the following four questions, assume $\epsilon=1$. Which offset $\delta$ with $\|\delta\|_{\infty} \leq 1$ yields the smallest value for $g(\mathbf{x}+\delta)$, assuming that $g$ is (locally) linear? A. $(+1,-2,+3,-4,+5,-6)$ B. $-(0,0,0,0,0,1)$ C. $(0,0,0,0,0,1)$ D. $(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1)$ E. $(+1,+1,+1,+1,+1,+1)$ F. $(-1,+1,-1,+1,-1,+1)$ G. $(+1,-1,+1,-1,+1,-1)$ H. $(-1,+2,-3,+4,-5,+6)$ Answer:

The following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about knowledge and skills in advanced master-level STEM courses. Consider a binary classification task as in Figure~\AMCref{fig:lr_data}, which consists of 14 two-dimensional linearly separable samples (circles corresponds to label $y=1$ and pluses corresponds to label $y=0$). We would like to predict the label $y=1$ of a sample $(x_1, x_2)$ when the following holds true \[ \prob(y=1|x_1, x_2, w_1, w_2) = \frac{1}{1+\exp(-w_1x_1 -w_2x_2)} > 0.5 \] where $w_1$ and $w_2$ are parameters of the model. If we obtain the $(w_1, w_2)$ by optimizing the following objective $$ - \sum_{n=1}^N\log \prob(y_n| x_{n1}, x_{n2}, w_1, w_2) + \frac{C}{2} w_2^2 $$ where $C$ is very large, then the decision boundary will be close to which of the following lines? A. $x_1 + x_2 = 0$ B. $x_1 - x_2 = 0$ C. $x_1 = 0$ D. $x_2 = 0$ Answer:
