The document provides an introduction to immunology and outlines key concepts of the immune system. It discusses the cells of the immune system including phagocytes, lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells. The innate immune response is mediated by phagocytes and natural killer cells that recognize pathogens non-specifically. The adaptive immune response involves antigen presentation and the generation of pathogen-specific antibodies and T-cells with memory. Major lymphoid tissues that support immune cell development and response include the bone marrow, thymus, spleen and lymph nodes.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
