Machine learning-based intelligent systems have experienced a massive growth over the past few years, and are close to becoming ubiquitous in the technology surrounding our daily lives. However, a critical challenge in machine learning-based systems is their vulnerability to security attacks from malicious adversaries. The vulnerability of these systems is further aggravated as it is non-trivial to establish the authenticity of data used to train the system, and even innocuous perturbations to the training data can be used to manipulate the system’s behavior in unintended ways.
This symposium track proposes to address the overarching need towards making automated, machine learning-based systems more robust and resilient against adversarial attacks, so that humans can use them in a safe and sustained manner. Towards this end, the symposium will serve as a forum to discuss and disseminate existing issues, open challenges, and future research directions this topic. Discussions and ideas generated in the symposium will be used to determine a roadmap for adversarial learning while identifying immediate technological enablers and hurdles as well as a far-term vision for the field.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
9:00 - 10:30 Joint Session with AI in Government & Public Sector
The AAAI 2018 Fall Symposium Series will be held at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA. Registration and hotel details from AAAI are here.
Authors are invited to submit original research, visionary papers, works-in-progress and papers describing software, hardware tools and datasets on different aspects related to adversarial learning. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the symposium program committee. At least one of the authors of accepted papers must present the paper at the symposium.
Papers should be formatted using AAAI Author Kit available here.
Papers should be submitted only through ALEC18 EasyChair Website.
Submissions are invited in the following categories:
Accepted papers will be published as online proceedings on CEUR-WS.org in the form of technical reports. (ALEC'18 Proc Selected, high-quality papers will be considered for a special issue in a leading archival conference proceedings series/journal/magazine in the field of intelligent systems and cyber-security.
