Abstract
Increasingly powerful machine learning models are often seen as an universal solution to a wide range of computational problems today. There is an unsustainable level of excitement over recent results in solving systems problems using deep learning techniques, leading to a rush to deploy ML-based systems in countries around the world. In this talk, I will consider some of the negative implications of these powerful but opaque models from two angles. I will discuss vulnerabilities inherent in many of today's deep learning models, as well as the dangers of advanced ML tools used by malicious attackers. The talk will include content from three recent security projects, including papers from CCS2017, USENIX Security 2018, and some ongoing work in submission. I will conclude with a discussion of ongoing challenges in building trusted systems using deep learning models.
Bio
Ben Zhao (赵燕斌) is the Neubauer Professor of Computer Science at University of Chicago. He completed his PhD from Berkeley (2004) and his BS from Yale (1997). He is an ACM distinguished scientist, and recipient of the NSF CAREER award, MIT Technology Review's TR-35 Award (Young Innovators Under 35), ComputerWorld Magazine's Top 40 Tech Innovators award, Google Faculty award, and IEEE ITC Early Career Award. His work has been covered by media outlets such as Scientific American, New York Times, Boston Globe, LA Times, MIT Tech Review, and Slashdot. He has published more than 150 publications in areas of security and privacy, machine learning, networked systems, wireless networks, data-mining and HCI (H-index 61). He recently served as TPC co-chair for the World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2016) and the ACM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC 2018).
