For the presentation, we recommend 1 min for the problem statement, 4 mins for your approach and results, 3 mins on your roadmap for the next three weeks. During the discussion, we hope to provide you meaningful feedback to guide you towards a strong final project submission.
  • Grading: The presentation will not be graded. Nonetheless, our experience suggests that the quality of the feedback received to be proportional to the time invested in the project and presentation.

Dear all,

We have received some feedbacks about project 3. Therefore, we would like to announce and clarify a few points below. 

First, the timeline this year is roughly the same as the one in the last year, which means the workload isn’t affected by the reduced semester, but we also realized students may have heavier loading in this special semester. As a result, we don’t treat the submission of proposals as a hard deadline. You can submit the proposal later, but it should not be later than Dec. 24. Meanwhile, students who submit proposals on time will receive feedbacks on time as planned. Note that the overall timeline of project 3 still remains the same, so please start earlier.

Second, as explained by Professor, we plan to have the oral exam according to the following schedule. Please note that four days are all first exams, not re-exams. Students will be assigned to four days based on their preference, or we would assign them otherwise.

MLCySec exams

Scheduled: Feb 10, 2021, to Feb 11, 2021

MLCySec Exams

Scheduled: Apr 8, 2021, to Apr 9, 2021

Last, since the earliest oral exam happens on Feb. 10, we plan to have the project presentation on Feb. 4 and the submission of reports will be due on Feb. 8. More details, e.g., presentation orders and duration, will come up after.

 

Best,

Your tutors.

Machine Learning in Cyber Security

Recent advances in Machine Learning has lead to near (or beyond) human-level performance in many tasks - autonomous driving, voice assistance, playing a variety of games. In terms of privacy and security, this is a double-edged sword. ML techniques can be used to efficiently detect and prevent attacks (e.g., intrusion detection). However, their deployment to many real-world sensitive systems (e.g., self-driving cars, the cloud) also makes them susceptible to numerous attacks, such as introducing imperceptible perturbations in inputs and forcing ML systems behave in unintended ways.

The course explores in-depth both of these sides to Machine Learning and Cyber Security. The content addresses the following areas:

  1. ML overview
  2. ML for improving security
  3. Attacks on ML models
  4. ML and Privacy

While we do a brief recap in the beginning, the course requires knowledge on Machine Learning.

Date for lecture: Thursdays 4pm to 6pm. First lecture will take place on November 5th.

Date of exercise class: Mondays noon to 2pm. First exercise will take place on November 9th.

Lectures and exercises will be held virtual over zoom. We are looking forward to seeing you in the lecture and the exercises!

Please register on this page as a student of this lecture. We would appreciate if you do so by November 4th - so that we can plan ahead. Thanks a lot!
