Topics in Adversarial Machine Learning

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well!

You should have received feedback on all of your previous reviews on the CMS portal. You are encouraged to incorporate the feedback into your future reviews. Also, the due date for the initial submission of the paper of your final project is finalized as July 11, and you have until July 21 to revise your paper. So probably, it is time for you to start thinking about your final project and discussing it with your teammate. For more information regarding this update, check the course syllabus (https://cms.cispa.saarland/aml_seminar/).

By the way, we are not going to meet this week, so I look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday.

 

Cheers,

Xiao

Hi everyone, 

I just posted the slides and the blog for Class 3 on our course website (https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/posts/class_3/).

Also, I posted some useful information on how to write an SoK paper (an option for your final project). You can check it here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/resources/sok/.

Hope all of you will have a wonderful evening!

 

Best regards,

Xiao

Hi everyone,

Hope you enjoy the sunshine today! 

I made a simple blog for our first class this Wednesday and posted it on our course website here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/posts/class_1/. I made the blog this time because Shreyash is auditing the seminar. @Shreyash, shout out if you want to add or change anything. 

By the way, the submission (https://cms.cispa.saarland/aml_seminar/submissions/) is open for review for topic 2. Remember to submit your review by next Tuesday.

Cheers,

Xiao

Good morning everyone,

The location of our weekly class meeting is finalized. We will meet in Conference Room 0.07 at CISPA Main Building, the same room as the kick-off meeting. The first meeting will be Wednesday (10.05) from 14:15 to 15:45. 

Remember to register for the seminar course on the LSF portal. Also, remember to read the first two papers and write the review.

I hope you all have a good weekend, and I look forward to seeing you at the first meeting!

Cheers,

Xiao

Hi everyone,

Thanks for submitting your topic preferences and your preferences for the weekly class meeting time! 

For future class meetings, we will meet from 14:15 - 15:45 each Wednesday. The meeting place will be announced later this week. The detailed course schedule can be found on the course website here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/schedule/. You can also see the topic assignment on that page or check more information (including information about team assignment) here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/teams/. 

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all on the first presentation day (10.05.2023).

Best regards,

Xiao

Hi everyone, 

Hope you have had a great semester so far!

Since the SIC assignment was finalized yesterday, the two online polls have been created, as mentioned during the seminar kick-off. The links to the polls are attached below. Follow the instructions to submit your votes at your earliest convenience. The deadline for submitting your votes is Apr. 23, 2023.

1. For deciding the weekly class meeting time: https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/p/5b737418f6adcb39ce13cd72fbbf7b13-213073

2. For placing your preferences on research topics: https://terminplaner2.dfn.de/XFl5kWhz7LZUiBfn

The results will be sent out early next week.

By the way, because of the delayed notice of the SIC assignments, I slightly modified the seminar schedule. You can find the modified schedule in the syllabus or here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/resources/schedule/. In particular, the first presentation will happen during 08.05 - 12.05 instead of the first week of May, so the first presenting team will have enough time (around two weeks) to prepare the presentation and get used to everything. 

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Xiao

Hi everyone,

The slides used for the seminar kick-off are now posted on the course website. You can access them here: https://trustml-cispa.gitlab.io/seminar_aml_ss23/posts/kickoff/. As discussed in the kick-off meeting, all the course-related materials will be posted on the course website in the future. I will only use CMS for communications (e.g., sending out news).

By the way, the online polls (for deciding the class meeting time and topic preference) will only be sent out after April 15th when the seminar assignments on SIC are finalized. 

Best regards,

Xiao

 

 

Hey everyone,

The kick-off meeting of this seminar will happen from 16:15 to 17:30 on Wednesday, April 13th, 2023. I have reserved a conference room in CISPA main building: Room 0.07, CISPA Main Building, Stuhlsatzenhaus 5. 

During the meeting, I will briefly introduce what will be covered in this seminar and the expectations of this course. Reading through the course syllabus before attending the kick-off meeting is recommended. After the introduction, I will answer any questions you might have.

I look forward to seeing you all on April 13th.

Cheers,
