no code implementations21 Jul 2017 Valentina Zantedeschi, Maria-Irina Nicolae, Ambrish Rawat

Following the recent adoption of deep neural networks (DNN) accross a wide range of applications, adversarial attacks against these models have proven to be an indisputable threat.

Adversarial Robustness Toolbox v1.0.0

5 code implementations3 Jul 2018 Maria-Irina Nicolae, Mathieu Sinn, Minh Ngoc Tran, Beat Buesser, Ambrish Rawat, Martin Wistuba, Valentina Zantedeschi, Nathalie Baracaldo, Bryant Chen, Heiko Ludwig, Ian M. Molloy, Ben Edwards

Defending Machine Learning models involves certifying and verifying model robustness and model hardening with approaches such as pre-processing inputs, augmenting training data with adversarial samples, and leveraging runtime detection methods to flag any inputs that might have been modified by an adversary.

Fully Decentralized Joint Learning of Personalized Models and Collaboration Graphs

1 code implementation24 Jan 2019 Valentina Zantedeschi, Aurélien Bellet, Marc Tommasi

We consider the fully decentralized machine learning scenario where many users with personal datasets collaborate to learn models through local peer-to-peer exchanges, without a central coordinator.

Learning Landmark-Based Ensembles with Random Fourier Features and Gradient Boosting

no code implementations14 Jun 2019 Léo Gautheron, Pascal Germain, Amaury Habrard, Emilie Morvant, Marc Sebban, Valentina Zantedeschi

Unlike state-of-the-art Multiple Kernel Learning techniques that make use of a pre-computed dictionary of kernel functions to select from, at each iteration we fit a kernel by approximating it as a weighted sum of Random Fourier Features (RFF) and by optimizing their barycenter.

Cumulo: A Dataset for Learning Cloud Classes

1 code implementation5 Nov 2019 Valentina Zantedeschi, Fabrizio Falasca, Alyson Douglas, Richard Strange, Matt J. Kusner, Duncan Watson-Parris

One of the greatest sources of uncertainty in future climate projections comes from limitations in modelling clouds and in understanding how different cloud types interact with the climate system.
