Abstract:  The widespread use of machine learning systems creates a new class of computer security vulnerabilities where, rather than attacking the integrity of the software itself, malicious actors exploit the statistical…
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly clear that implicit regularization afforded by the optimization algorithms play a central role in machine learning, and especially so when using large, deep, neural networks.…
Abstract Many procedures in statistics and artificial intelligence require solving non-convex problems. Historically, the focus has been to convexify the non-convex objectives. In recent years, however, there has been significant…
