Blind Confusion of Classification Networks

A black box evaluation under common and structured image corruptions

This work presents a black box robustness evaluation of image classification networks under common and structured image corruptions. It analyzes 37 models across 15 corruption types and introduces Accuracy Confidence Divergence as a diagnostic measure for comparing accuracy degradation with confidence behavior.

Works

ECC Key Material Generation with CryptoCore cover

ECC Key Material Generation with CryptoCore

Embedded cryptography project on the DE1-SoC platform using the CryptoCore hardware accelerator. The work focuses on GF(p)-based ECC operations, Jacobian coordinate arithmetic, Montgomery domain transformation, Point Doubling, Point Addition, Point Multiplication, Linux driver integration, and SageMath based result verification. The detailed page also documents known engineering constraints such as point-at-infinity handling and register allocation limits.

PPO and DDPG Algorithms cover

PPO and DDPG Algorithms

PPO experiments in LunarLander with a focus on training speed and reward stability. Compared DummyVecEnv vs SubprocVecEnv, tested entropy tuning, gravity variations, and stacked observations to quantify what actually improves learning.

HandsON Music App cover

HandsON Music App

Real time hand gesture control for music playback using MediaPipe hand tracking. The app is complete and includes an in page usage guide for gesture driven control.

Full Stack Web Development cover

Full Stack Web Development

Full stack Next.js project built in TypeScript with React and MongoDB Atlas via Mongoose. Includes responsive UI aligned with TH Deggendorf styling, EN and DE content switching, and role based access for Guest, User, and Admin with admin content management.

Stock Market Data Processing with DE1-SoC cover

Stock Market Data Processing with DE1-SoC

FPGA based VHDL project on the DE1-SoC board for deterministic stock market data processing. Static financial values are read from ROM, stored in on-chip memory, processed with exponential smoothing through custom IEEE-754 based single-precision arithmetic modules, and shown through the seven-segment interface. The detailed project page explains the architecture, verification flow, timing results, and report figures.
