I am not exactly buying the premise here, if you train a CNN on useful semantic categories then the representations they generate will be semantically meaningful (so the error shown in blog wouldn’t occur).
I dislike the general idea of iCloud having back doors but I don’t think the criticism in this blog is entirely valid.
Edit: it was pointed out apple doesn’t have semantically meaningful classifier so the blog post’s criticism is valid.
- jeffbee 5y agoI agree the article is a straw-man argument and is not addressing the system that Apple actually describes.
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoApple's description of the training process (https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Technical_Summary.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...) sounds like they're just training it to recognize some representative perturbations, not useful semantic categories.
- ivalm 5y agoOk, good point, thanks.
