Invited speakers include executives and researchers from Fortune 500 companies, federal intelligence agencies, start-ups, and incubators, as well as Georgia Tech faculty and students presenting their research. Lectures are open to all -- students, faculty, industry, government, or simply the curious.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/attend.com\/cyberlecture-chen\u0022\u003ERSVP\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile Artificial Intelligence (AI) has tremendous potential as a defense against real-world cybersecurity threats, understanding the capabilities and robustness of AI remains a fundamental challenge, especially in adversarial environments. In this talk, I address two interrelated problems that are essential to the successful deployment of AI in security settings. (1) Discovering real-world vulnerabilities of deep neural networks and countermeasures to mitigate threats. I will present ShapeShifter, the first targeted physical adversarial attack that fools state-of-the-art object detectors, and SHIELD, a real-time defense that removes adversarial noise by stochastic data compression. (2) Developing theoretically-principled methods for choosing machine models to defend against unknown future attacks. I will introduce a novel game theory concept called \u0026ldquo;diversified strategy\u0026rdquo; to help make the optimal decision with limited risk. Finally, I will share my vision on making AI more robust under different threat models, and research directions on deploying AI in security-critical and high-stakes problems.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.cc.gatech.edu\/~schen351\/\u0022\u003EShang-Tse Chen\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. He works in the intersection of applied and theoretical machine learning. His research focuses on designing robust machine learning algorithms for security-critical applications. He has worked closely with industry and government partners. His research has led to patent-pending cyber threat detection technology with Symantec, open-sourced adversarial attack and defense tools with Intel, deployed fire risk prediction system with the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department.
