Task: Summarization
Input (English): It is well known that it is possible to construct "adversarial examples"
 for neural networks: inputs which are misclassified by the network
 yet indistinguishable from true data. We propose a simple
 modification to standard neural network architectures, thermometer
 encoding, which significantly increases the robustness of the network to
 adversarial examples. We demonstrate this robustness with experiments
 on the MNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and SVHN datasets, and show that
 models with thermometer-encoded inputs consistently have higher accuracy
 on adversarial examples, without decreasing generalization.
 State-of-the-art accuracy under the strongest known white-box attack was 
 increased from 93.20% to 94.30% on MNIST and 50.00% to 79.16% on CIFAR-10.
 We explore the properties of these networks, providing evidence
 that thermometer encodings help neural networks to
 find more-non-linear decision boundaries.
Output (English): The authors present an in-depth study of discretizing / quantizing the input as a defense against adversarial examples
