The Intelligence Community Studies Board (ICSB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on December 11â€"12, 2018, in Berkeley, California, to discuss robust machine learning algorithms and systems for the detection and mitigation of adversarial attacks and anomalies. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
Fundamentals of Robust Machine Learning
An essential guide for tackling outliers and anomalies in machine learning and data science. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has transformed virtually every area of research and technology, becoming one of the key tools for data scientists. Robust machine learning is a new approach to handling outliers in datasets, which is an often-overlooked aspect of data science. Ignoring outliers can lead to bad business decisions, wrong medical diagnoses, reaching the wrong conclusions or incorrectly assessing feature importance, just to name a few. Fundamentals of Robust Machine Learning offers a thorough but accessible overview of this subject by focusing on how to properly handle outliers and anomalies in datasets. There are two main approaches described in the book: using outlier-tolerant ML tools, or removing outliers before using conventional tools. Balancing theoretical foundations with practical Python code, it provides all the necessary skills to enhance the accuracy, stability and reliability of ML models. Fundamentals of Robust Machine Learning readers will also find: A blend of robust statistics and machine learning principles Detailed discussion of a wide range of robust machine learning methodologies, from robust clustering, regression and classification, to neural networks and anomaly detection Python code with immediate application to data science problems Fundamentals of Robust Machine Learning is ideal for undergraduate or graduate students in data science, machine learning, and related fields, as well as for professionals in the field looking to enhance their understanding of building models in the presence of outliers.
Robust Machine Learning
Today, machine learning algorithms are often distributed across multiple machines to leverage more computing power and more data. However, the use of a distributed framework entails a variety of security threats. In particular, some of the machines may misbehave and jeopardize the learning procedure. This could, for example, result from hardware and software bugs, data poisoning or a malicious player controlling a subset of the machines. This book explains in simple terms what it means for a distributed machine learning scheme to be robust to these threats, and how to build provably robust machine learning algorithms. Studying the robustness of machine learning algorithms is a necessity given the ubiquity of these algorithms in both the private and public sectors. Accordingly, over the past few years, we have witnessed a rapid growth in the number of articles published on the robustness of distributed machine learning algorithms. We believe it is time to provide a clear foundation to this emerging and dynamic field. By gathering the existing knowledge and democratizing the concept of robustness, the book provides the basis for a new generation of reliable and safe machine learning schemes. In addition to introducing the problem of robustness in modern machine learning algorithms, the book will equip readers with essential skills for designing distributed learning algorithms with enhanced robustness. Moreover, the book provides a foundation for future research in this area.
