We are pleased to let you know that CSAW’20 HackML competition is now live.
As you may know, recent work has shown that neural networks can contain stealthy backdoors, much like traditional software that allow attackers to trigger malicious behavior. The HackML competition will challenge teams to develop novel, more powerful backdoor defenses and detections.
The upcoming second edition of the HackML challenge will present an opportunity for the selected teams to exhibit their defense strategy during the annual CSAW’20 conference, which will be a virtual event this year.
All details about the challenge are here: https://wp.nyu.edu/csaw_hackml_2020/
Please consider participating, either by proposing new ideas or by improving existing defenses. If you know of other colleagues who might be interested, please also forward this email along.
Thank you!
