Most current approaches for protecting privacy in machine learning (ML) assume that models exist in a vacuum. Yet, in reality, these models are part of larger systems that include components for training data filtering, output monitoring,…

Regression models are widely used in industrial processes, engineering, and in natural and physical sciences, yet their robustness to poisoning has received less attention. When it has, studies often assume unrealistic threat models and are…

We propose using a two-layered deployment of machine learning models to prevent adversarial attacks. The first layer determines whether the data was tampered, while the second layer solves a domain-specific problem. We explore three sets of…

The existence of adversarial attacks (or adversarial examples) brings huge concern about the machine learning (ML) model's safety issues. For many safety-critical ML tasks, such as financial forecasting, fraudulent detection, and anomaly…
