<Title of talk>
Robustness of Deep Learning Systems Against Deception
by Ling Liu, Professor in the School of Computer Science at Georgia
Institute of Technology

<Abstract>
We are entering an exciting era where human intelligence is being enhanced
by big data fueled artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
However, recent work shows that DNN models trained privately are vulnerable
to adversarial inputs. Such adversarial inputs inject small amount of
perturbations to the input data to fool machine learning models to
misbehave, turning a deep neural network against itself. As new defense
methods are proposed, more sophisticated attack algorithms are surfaced.
This arms race has been ongoing since the rise of adversarial machine
learning. This talk provides a comprehensive analysis and characterization
of the state of art attacks and defenses. As more mission critical systems
are incorporating machine learning and AI as an essential component in our
social, cyber, and physical systems, such as Internet of things,
self-driving cars, smart planets, smart manufacturing, understanding and
ensuring the verifiable robustness of deep learning becomes a pressing
challenge. This includes (1) the development of formal metrics to
quantitatively evaluate and measure the robustness of a DNN prediction with
respect of intentional and unintentional artifacts and deceptions, (2) the
comprehensive understanding of the blind spots and the invariants in the DNN
trained models and the DNN training process, and (3) the statistical
measurement of trust and distrust that we can place on a deep learning
algorithm to perform reliably and truthfully. In this talk, I will use our
cross-layer strategic teaming defense framework and techniques to illustrate
the feasibility of ensuring robust deep learning through scenario-based
empirical analysis.
