Congratulations to the following PhD graduates for their achievement!

Winner
for contributions to adversarial machine learning research and technical leadership in system application

Winner: ZHAO MengchenDr ZHAO Mengchen
Advanced Attack and Defense Techniques in Machine Learning Systems

Citation:
Zhao Mengchen’s thesis investigates several important problems in the area of adversarial machine learning in order to deepen the understanding of the vulnerabilities of machine learning. An efficient algorithm is proposed to compute label contamination attacks against a class of machine learning algorithms. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates the transferability of data injection attacks in multi-task learning. The thesis also proposes practical solutions for combating adversaries in real-world machine learning systems, including email filtering systems and e-commerce systems.
