Adversarial Robustness in Machine Learning
Abstract
Code release – v1.0.0 This release contains the source code accompanying the manuscript "Adversarial Observations in State-Space Models for Robust Reinforcement Learning" by M. Santos-Pascual and D. Ríos Insua. The repository provides implementations and experimental scripts for studying adversarial perturbations of observations in probabilistic state-space models and their impact on downstream reinforcement learning. The main experimental components include: Adversarial observation attacks against Kalman filtering and smoothing. Evaluation of adversarial attacks in reinforcement learning environments, including navigation and CartPole. Analysis of the influence of observation and process noise covariance on attack effectiveness. Evaluation of uncertainty-aware defensive strategies based on adaptive covariance inflation. Comparison of attack and defense performance under different experimental settings. This version is intended to provide a reproducible snapshot of the computational experiments accompanying the manuscript. Archival information: This release is archived through Zenodo to provide a persistent DOI for research reproducibility and citation.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

It is found that what perceived as biggest challenges by software startups do vary across different life cycle stages, even though its significance decreases when the learning focuses of the startups move from problem to solution and their products mature.
