Deep neural networks are the new default machine learning approach in many domains, such as computer vision, speech processing, and natural language processing. Given sufficient data for a target task, end-to-end models can be learned with fairly simple, almost universal algorithms. Such models learn their own internal representations, which in many cases appear to be ... Read more

Security and Privacy in Machine Learning Nicolas Papernot, Penn State University There is growing recognition that machine learning exposes new security and privacy issues in software systems. In this talk, we first articulate a comprehensive threat model for machine learning, then present an attack against model prediction integrity, and finally discuss a framework for learning ...
