Class Description

Every technical product is now incorporating machine learning at an explosive rate. But most people, even those with strong technical skills, don't understand how it works, what its capabilities are, and what security risks come with it. In this workshop, we'll make machine learning models using simple Python scripts, train them, and evaluate their value. Projects include computer vision, breaking a CAPTCHA, deblurring images, regression, and classification tasks. We will perform poisoning and evasion attacks on machine learning systems, and implement deep neural rejection to block such attacks.

No experience with programming or machine learning is required, and the only software required is a Web browser. We will use TensorFlow on free Google Colab cloud systems.

Textbooks

Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow
Github

AI and Machine Learning for Coders: A Programmer's Guide to Artificial Intelligence (optional)

Quizzes

The quizzes are multiple-choice, online, and open-book. However, you may not ask other people to help you during the quizzes. You will need to study the textbook chapter before the lecture covering it, and take the quiz before that class. Each quiz is due 30 min. before class. Each quiz has 5 questions, you have ten minutes to take it, and you can make two attempts. If you take the quiz twice, the higher score counts.
