Learning smoothly: machine learning with RobustNeuralNetworks.jl

Neural networks are typically sensitive to small input perturbations, leading to unexpected or brittle behaviour. We present RobustNeuralNetworks.jl: a Julia package for neural network models that are constructed to naturally satisfy robustness constraints. We discuss the theory behind our model parameterisation, give an overview of the package, and demonstrate its use in image classification, reinforcement learning, and nonlinear robotic control.
