    1. In computing, the robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". It is often reworded as: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept". The principle is also known as Postel's law, after Jon Postel, who used the wording in an early specification of TCP.

      Robustness principle: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.

    1. This is insightful application of Postel's law en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle. It remains wrong to write software that assumes local parts of email addresses are case-insensitive, but yes, given that there is plenty of wrong software out there, it is also less than robust to require case sensitivity if you are the one accepting the mail.
    2. Solution: Store emails with case sensitivity Send emails with case sensitivity Perform internal searches with case insensitivity
    3. Robustness principle suggests that we accept case sensitive emails
    1. A flaw can become entrenched as a de facto standard. Any implementation of the protocol is required to replicate the aberrant behavior, or it is not interoperable. This is both a consequence of applying the robustness principle, and a product of a natural reluctance to avoid fatal error conditions. Ensuring interoperability in this environment is often referred to as aiming to be "bug for bug compatible".

    1. Deepti Gurdasani. (2022, January 29). Going to say this again because it’s important. Case-control studies to determine prevalence of long COVID are completely flawed science, but are often presented as being scientifically robust. This is not how we can define clinical syndromes or their prevalence! A thread. [Tweet]. @dgurdasani1. https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1/status/1487366920508694529

    1. In other words, programs that send messages to other machines (or to other programs on the same machine) should conform completely to the specifications, but programs that receive messages should accept non-conformant input as long as the meaning is clear.
    2. be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others

    1. Are All Layers Created Equal?

      Google的这文2个 idea 很简单:一个是在 trained 网络各层的参数分别换回训练前的初始参数而观察相应各层的鲁棒性;另一个是把上一个 idea 基础上把那套初始参数再从某分布中随机取一次瞅效果。此 paper 的严谨的验证试验过程是最值得学习的~[并不简单]

    2. Using Pre-Training Can Improve Model Robustness and Uncertainty

      此 paper 回应并补充了去年何神的一篇说 pre-training 对 performance 鸟用不大的文章 (Rethinking ImageNet Pre-training)。你问是怎么回应的?瞅一眼此 paper 的题目就晓得了。。。。

    1. Is Robustness the Cost of Accuracy? -- A Comprehensive Study on the Robustness of 18 Deep Image Classification Models

      这文帅了~ 信息丰富 超多的图~ 让人眼前一亮~

      探讨了18个模型的鲁棒性和准确率。结论很多,如模型构架是影响鲁棒性和准确率的重要因素(似乎是废话);相似模型构架基础上增加“深度”对鲁棒性的提升很微弱;有些模型(Vgg类)的表现出很强的对抗样本迁移性。。。
