Introduction: The Quest for Robust AI Deep Learning (DL) has revolutionized computer vision, enabling machines to identify objects, segment images, and drive cars with astonishing accuracy. Yet, a critical Achilles’ heel remains: these models often fail dramatically when faced with data that deviates even slightly from their training set. A self-driving car trained on sunny-day […]
