TITLE:		Adversarially Robust Machine Learning Through the Lens of
 		 Optimization



SPEAKER:	Aleksander Madry  (MIT - EECS)


ABSTRACT:

Machine learning and, in particular, deep learning has made tremendous progress 
over the last several years. In fact, many believe now that these techniques 
are a silver bullet, capable of making progress on any problem they are applied 
to.

But can we truly rely on this toolkit?

In this talk, I will briefly survey some of the key challenges in making 
machine learning be dependable and secure. Our discussion will then focus on 
one of the most pressing issues: the widespread vulnerability of 
state-of-the-art deep learning models to adversarial misclassification (aka 
adversarial examples). I will describe a framework that enables us to reason 
about this vulnerability in a principled manner using the lens of (robust) 
optimization. This framework provides us with a unifying perspective on much of 
prior work on this topic as well guides development of reliable methods for 
training models that are resistant to adversarial misclassification.
