Opening Remarks: The Future of Privacy and Security
Security and privacy are key components to building trust in the technologies that we use, whether that be for applications for individuals, businesses, or in government. As new challenges and threats emerge in this area,…
Research talk: Can causal learning improve the privacy of ML models?
Ensuring privacy of data used to train machine learning models is important for safe and responsible deployment of these models. At the same time, models are required to generalize across different data distributions to enable…
Research talk: Building towards a responsible data economy
Speaker: Dawn Song, Professor, UC Berkeley Data is a key driver of the modern economy and AI/machine learning. However, a lot of this data is sensitive, and handling sensitive data has caused unprecedented challenges for…
Research talk: DARPA SafeDocs: an approach to secure parsing and information interchange formats
Speaker: Sergey Bratus, Program Manager, DARPA DARPA and MITRE estimate that 80 percent of software security vulnerabilities have incorrect input validation as their root cause. In such scenarios, attackers provide malformed input, which, when not…
