Title: Adversarial Machine Learning for Robust Prediction

 

Abstract: With continued advances in science and technology, digital data have grown at an astonishing rate in various domains and forms, such as business, geography, health, multimedia, network, text, and web data. Designing and developing machine learning algorithms that are robust against missing data, incomplete observation, or errors in data collection is essential in many real-world applications. Despite achieving remarkable performance, machine learning models, especially deep learning models, suffer from harassment caused by small adversarial perturbations injected by malicious parties and users. Given the need to understand the vulnerability and resilience of machine learning, two questions arise: (1) How to develop effective modification "attack" strategies to tamper with intrinsic characteristics of data by injecting fake information? and (2) How to develop defense strategies to offer sufficient protection to machine learning models against adversarial attacks?

In this talk, I will introduce problems, challenges, and solutions for characterizing and understanding and learning vulnerability and resilience of machine learning under adversarial attacks. I will also discuss our recent work on adversarial learning over network and text data. I will conclude the talk by sketching interesting future directions for adversarial machine learning.
