Description: Robustness in machine learning refers to the ability of a model to maintain acceptable performance under various conditions and uncertainties. This means that the model must not only be accurate in ideal situations but also be capable of handling variations in input data, noise, and changes in the environment. Robustness is crucial for real-world applications, where data can be noisy or incomplete, and where conditions may change over time. A robust model is less susceptible to overfitting to training data and, therefore, can generalize better to new data. Key characteristics of robustness include performance stability, resistance to adversarial attacks, and the ability to adapt to new situations. In the context of generative models, robustness translates to the ability to generate data that is coherent and realistic, even when faced with variations in input parameters or data distribution. This is especially important in various applications, including image, text, or music generation, where the quality and diversity of results are essential for their utility and acceptance.
