Machine Learning Security Reproducibility

Hi everyone,

unfortunately I noticed that we have some problems with people not attending the seminar, especially without informing me. 

There are always reasons not to be able to attend, however, it should be an exception and you would need to inform me. 

Especially for the discussions in the new year, your active participation is required. Therefore, I decided to keep track with a list who is attending and unclear absences will lead to fail the seminar. 

Best regards,

Hi everyone!

We assigned the presentation days and session chair roles today here.

Again, please make sure to be present for the discussions. 

After the deadline for the survey paper, I will assign reviews to you in HotCRP. You can find today's slides and an example review and presentation in the material section of CMS.

Best regards,

Lea Schönherr

Hi everyone!

I hope the preparations of the first versions of the paper and artefact report is going well.

• I wanted to remind you that the deadline for the survey paper is due to Dec 18 (Anywhere on Earth, which should be Dec 19, 1pm CET). For submitting and reviewing the paper, we will use a HotCRP instance. You can find the link here. For the submission, you can register and fill out all required information and upload your PDF. Your affiliation will be "Universität des Saarlandes". There are updates, including uploading a new PDF, possible until the deadline. So please make use of the time to check the platform early enough. If there are any troubles, let me know. We also have a meeting before the final deadline which we can use for fixing issues.
   
• As a general note, our schedule has been announced during the kick-off and you can also find it in the slides. I also added it to the main page now. There is one change: The meeting for this Monday (Dec 11), will be combined with the meeting the week after (Dec 18). Therefore, we have no meeting Monday, Dec 11. In our next meeting we will also agree on the presentation slots. We have five slots and five topics. Please think about your preferences, but in principleI expect you to join all the presentation meetings no matter if you are presenting or be an active part of the discussion. The general setting for presenting and discussion leads will be presented Dec 18.

Best regards,

Hi everyone!

 

The topic assignment is (almost) complete. Please check the google spreadsheet for this.

Next week Monday we will talk about how to write a survey paper and how to run an artefact evaluation. For this, we have a change in the room. Our meeting will be in 0.07 (same building, same floor).

As we already lost some time, please take care to not loose track of the time and start early. Also do not forgot to register in LSF. The deadline for this is Dec 14.

 

Best regards,

Lea Schönherr

Hi everyone,

I just uploaded the first slide deck. Unfortunately next week we can not meet but we will finalize the assignments async such that you can start with your topic. For the "How to" survey paper and artefact evaluation I will merge the two meetings to give you enough time to work on both. I have updated the schedule in the slides accordingly.

Best regards,

Lea Schönherr

Hi everyone!

We're starting our seminar next Monday, Nov 6 at 4:15 PM at the CISPA building (E9.1) in room 0.01. Make sure you've got this time slot blocked in your calendar for the entire semester because we'll be meeting up almost every week. During the kick-off next Monday we will mainly talk about administration, schedule and topic assignment.

I hope we do not need any formal specifications and I do not expect you to attend 100% of the meetings, however, especially during the second part of the semester, I am planning some discussion rounds which requires you to attend. Please keep that in mind and consider the seminar meetings as mandatory, with possible individual exceptions.

See you all there.
