Workshop on Security in Machine Learning & Optimization

THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

March 11, 2020
Georgetown University, Washington DC

Recent years have witnessed a growing number of adversarial attacks and malicious behaviors aimed at systems built with machine learning and optimization algorithms. There is a need for new theories and models to provide a fundamental understanding of the vulnerabilities of these algorithms and develop methods to safeguard the system from attacks. This workshop will bring together experts from the cybersecurity, machine learning, and optimization communities to highlight recent works that contribute to addressing these challenges. Our agenda will feature invited talks and contributed poster presentations. It will provide a platform for researchers to discuss and propose new models, algorithms, and ideas for future cross-community collaborations.
