Physical Backdoor Attack against Autonomous Driving 3D Object Detection Systems
This project creates high-density LiDAR areas by leveraging high-reflectivity surfaces, ensuring robust and effective trigger placement.
For experiments, configured and deployed camera-LiDAR sensors on autonomous vehicles to collect data for security and robustness analysis.
MalintentRAG: A Universal Trigger Framework for Backdoor Attacks in RAG Systems
In this project, we developed a genetic optimization framework to refine malicious intent prompts and passages for stealth and effectiveness.
Achieved a 45% improvement in attack accuracy over existing methods.
BadFusion: 2D-Oriented Backdoor Attacks against 3D Object Detection
With the increasing adoption of camera-LiDAR fusion for high-fidelity 3D object detection, the robustness of these systems against adversarial threats is a growing concern.
We introduce BadFusion, an innovative 2D-oriented backdoor attack that preserves trigger effectiveness across the entire fusion process, achieving significantly higher attack success rates compared to existing 2D-oriented attacks on 3D object detection models.
Autonomous Driving in Adverse Weather
Despite advancements in deep neural networks, object detection in adverse weather remains a significant challenge due to sensor degradation under extreme conditions.
To address adverse weather detection challenges, our paper introduces a Global-Local Attention (GLA) framework that adaptively fuses multiple sensor streams—camera, gated, and LiDAR data—at two fusion stages:
Early-stage fusion via a local attention network, capturing localized feature variations.
Late-stage fusion via a global attention network, assigning higher importance to the most reliable modality under the current weather condition.
Skin Lesion Analyzer: AI-Powered Skin Cancer Classification
Skin cancer is a growing global health concern, with 123,000 melanoma and 3,000,000 non-melanoma cases reported annually worldwide. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays is a major risk factor.
This study presents an efficient deep learning-based skin cancer classification model to assist dermatologists in critical decision-making for early-stage skin cancer detection, achieving an accuracy of 83.1%.
Automated Diabetic Retinopathy Detection
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting over 100 million individuals worldwide, with cases expected to rise in the coming decades.
To address this, we developed a deep learning-based diagnostic tool for early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy, automating disease classification and achieving 96% accuracy. Improved detection accuracy by 35%, surpassing previous studies and outperforming traditional screening methods.
Redefining Cancer Treatment (Kaggle Competition)
Once sequenced, a cancer tumor can contain thousands of genetic mutations, but distinguishing driver mutations(which contribute to tumor growth) from passenger mutations (which are neutral) remains a key challenge.
This project aimed to automate the identification of driver and passenger mutations in cancer tumors. Our approach secured 73rd place (top 6%) among 1,386 participants in the Kaggle competition.
Data Science Bowl 2018 (Kaggle Competition)
The project was aimed at creating a Deep-Learning based model that can identify a range of nuclei across varied conditions within a DNA to speed up the disease diagnosis learning curves by observing patterns and building a model to advance medical discovery.
Ranked in the top 20% out of 3634 participants for the Kaggle Competition
