The seminar is cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later moment. We will email a new announcement with a new date when ready.


This is a one-day RISC workshop on the intersection between security and ML co-organized between the Cryptology Group led by Prof. Ronald Cramer and the Machine Learning Group led by Prof. Peter Grunwald.

Description:

Can we trust Machine Learning (ML) to enable robust intelligence with its ability to sense, learn, reason, and act in complex environments with real-time responsiveness and long-term reflection? How can robust intelligence survive in a malicious world? We need to worry about adversarial examples which seem normal for a human but are wrongly classified by ML models; privacy attacks which extract information about the ML model and used training data set; poisoning and Trojan attacks that maliciously modify a ML model’s behavior. AutoML is about automating the process of applying ML to real world problems – will this be hacked?
