# Setup Which of the following equations are incorrect according to the specification? # Notation A neural network is a function $F(x) = y$ that accepts an input $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and produces an output $y \in \mathbb{R}^m$.

Let me check each equation carefully to ensure it satisfies $C(x+\delta) = t$ if and only if $f(x+\delta) \le 0$. 1) $f_1(x') = -\loss_{F,t}(x') + 1$ The cross entropy loss is minimized when the prediction matches the target class. However, it never reaches 0, so adding 1 doesn't guarantee the condition. ❌ Incorrect 2) $f_2(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}( F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. $C(x+\delta) = t$ exactly when $F(x')_t$ is larger than all other probabilities, which means $\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t \leq 0$. ✅ Correct 3) $f_3(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)-\log(2)$ The softplus function is always positive, and subtracting log(2) doesn't guarantee the equivalence. ❌ Incorrect 4) $f_4(x') = (0.5 - F(x')_t)^+$ This only checks if the target probability is > 0.5, which is not sufficient to guarantee it's the maximum. ❌ Incorrect 5) $f_5(x') = -\log(2 F(x')_t - 2)$ This function has undefined behavior when $F(x')_t \leq 1$ (which is always true for probabilities). ❌ Incorrect 6) $f_6(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}( Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. Working with logits directly, the largest logit corresponds to the class prediction. ✅ Correct 7) $f_7(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)-\log(2)$ Similar to $f_3$, using softplus here doesn't guarantee the equivalence condition. ❌ Incorrect The incorrect equations are: [1, 3, 4, 5, 7]

Let me analyze each equation: 1) $f_1(x') = -\loss_{F,t}(x') + 1$ The cross entropy loss is always non-negative and is minimized (close to 0) when the prediction is correct. However, subtracting the loss from 1 means the function would be ≤ 0 when the loss is ≥ 1, which doesn't guarantee correct classification. 2) $f_2(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. When class t has the highest probability, $F(x')_t > \max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i)$ so $f_2 = 0$. When any other class has higher probability, $f_2 > 0$. 3) $f_3(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)-\log(2)$ This is correct. Similar to $f_2$ but using softplus for smoothness. 4) $f_4(x') = (0.5 - F(x')_t)^+$ This is problematic. Having $F(x')_t > 0.5$ doesn't guarantee it's the highest probability (in a multi-class setting). 5) $f_5(x') = -\log(2F(x')_t - 2)$ This has domain issues. Since $F(x')_t \leq 1$, $2F(x')_t - 2 \leq 0$, making the log undefined on real numbers. 6) $f_6(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. Working with logits directly, class t is predicted when its logit is highest. 7) $f_7(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)-\log(2)$ This is correct. Similar to $f_6$ but using softplus for smoothness. The incorrect equations are [1, 4, 5].

Let me analyze each equation step by step: 1. $f_1(x') = -\loss_{F,t}(x') + 1$ The cross-entropy loss is minimized (approaches 0) when the prediction is correct. So when $C(x+\delta) = t$, the loss will be minimal and $f_1$ will be approximately $\leq 0$. This one seems correct. 2. $f_2(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. $C(x+\delta) = t$ means $F(x')_t$ is the largest probability, so $\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t < 0$, making $f_2 = 0$ due to the $()^+$. 3. $f_3(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)-\log(2)$ Similar to $f_2$ but using softplus. This is correct as softplus is always positive and approaches 0 when its input is very negative. 4. $f_4(x') = (0.5 - F(x')_t)^+$ This is INCORRECT. Having $F(x')_t > 0.5$ is not sufficient to guarantee that $t$ is the highest probability class. 5. $f_5(x') = -\log(2F(x')_t - 2)$ This is INCORRECT. The expression $2F(x')_t - 2$ is always negative (since $F(x')_t \leq 1$), making the logarithm undefined. 6. $f_6(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)^+$ Similar to $f_2$ but using logits instead of probabilities. This is correct as the argmax of logits corresponds to the argmax of probabilities. 7. $f_7(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)-\log(2)$ Similar to $f_3$ but using logits. This is also correct. The incorrect equations are 4 and 5. [4, 5]

Let me analyze each equation carefully: 1) $f_1(x') = -\loss_{F,t}(x') + 1$ Cross entropy loss approaches 0 when prediction is accurate. So when $C(x') = t$, loss will be near 0 and $f_1$ will be near 1 (positive). This is incorrect as it should be ≤ 0 when prediction is correct. 2) $f_2(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. When $C(x') = t$, $F(x')_t$ is larger than all other outputs, so max term is smaller than $F(x')_t$, making the difference negative, and with $(...)^+$ it becomes 0. When $C(x') \neq t$, some class has higher probability, making result positive. 3) $f_3(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(F(x')_i) - F(x')_t)-\log(2)$ This is a smooth version of $f_2$ - also correct. When $C(x') = t$, inside term is negative, softplus makes it small, subtracting log(2) makes it negative. 4) $f_4(x') = (0.5 - F(x')_t)^+$ This is correct. When class t is predicted, $F(x')_t > 0.5$ necessarily (as it must be maximum of probabilities summing to 1), making result 0. 5) $f_5(x') = -\log(2F(x')_t - 2)$ When $C(x') = t$, $F(x')_t$ should be large, making argument of log negative, resulting in undefined values. This is incorrect. 6) $f_6(x') = (\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)^+$ This is correct - similar reasoning as $f_2$ but on logits instead of probabilities. 7) $f_7(x') = \text{softplus}(\max_{i \ne t}(Z(x')_i) - Z(x')_t)-\log(2)$ This is correct - smooth version of $f_6$. Incorrect equations are: [1, 5]
