Detecting Adversarial Data via Provable Adversarial Noise Amplification

The nonuniform and growing impact of adversarial noise across the layers of deep neural networks has been used in the literature, without a formal mathematical justification, to detect adversarial inputs and improve robustness. In this work, we study this phenomenon in detail and present a formal adversarial noise amplification theorem. We specify a set of sufficient conditions under which the adversarial noise amplification is mathematically guaranteed. Based on theoretical observations, we propose a novel training methodology with a custom spectral loss function and a specific architectural design to enhance the amplification signal for detecting adversarial data. Finally, we introduce a new, lightweight detection mechanism that leverages the enhanced amplification signal and operates entirely at inference time. To validate our approach, we demonstrate the detector's efficacy against both state-of-the-art attacks and a purpose-built adaptive attack, confirming that enhanced amplification can serve as a robust and reliable signal for adversarial defense.

Is Video Anomaly Detection Misframed? Evidence from LLM-Based and Multi-Scene Models

Recent video anomaly detection research has expanded rapidly with an emphasis on general models of normality intended to work across many different scenes. While this focus has led to improvements in scalability and multi-scene generalization, it has also shifted the field away from modeling the scene-specific and context-dependent nature of normal behavior. Contemporary approaches frequently rely on video-level weak supervision and opaque pretrained representations from multi-modal large language models (MLLMs), which encourage models to respond to familiar semantic anomaly categories rather than to deviations from the normal patterns of a particular environment. This trend suppresses spatial localization, introduces semantic bias, and reduces anomaly detection to a form of action recognition. In this paper, we examine whether these prevailing formulations align with the core requirements of real-world VAD, which is typically performed within a single scene where normality is determined by local geometry, semantics, and activity patterns. Through targeted visual analyses and empirical evaluations, we demonstrate the practical consequences of these limitations and show that meaningful progress in VAD requires renewed focus on single-scene, spatially-aware, and explainable formulations that capture the nuanced structure of normality within individual environments.

Adversarial Machine Learning Attacks Against Video Anomaly Detection Systems

Anomaly detection in videos is an important computer vision problem with various applications including automated video surveillance. Although adversarial attacks on image understanding models have been heavily investigated, there is not much work on adversarial machine learning targeting video understanding models and no previous work which focuses on video anomaly detection. To this end, we investigate an adversarial machine learning attack against video anomaly detection systems, that can be implemented via an easy-to-perform cyber-attack. Since surveillance cameras are usually connected to the server running the anomaly detection model through a wireless network, they are prone to cyber-attacks targeting the wireless connection. We demonstrate how Wi-Fi deauthentication attack, a notoriously easy-to-perform and effective denial-of-service (DoS) attack, can be utilized to generate adversarial data for video anomaly detection systems. Specifically, we apply several effects caused by the Wi-Fi deauthentication attack on video quality (e.g., slow down, freeze, fast forward, low resolution) to the popular benchmark datasets for video anomaly detection. Our experiments with several state-of-the-art anomaly detection models show that the attackers can significantly undermine the reliability of video anomaly detection systems by causing frequent false alarms and hiding physical anomalies from the surveillance system.
