Teacher Development Center "Distinguished Scholar Lecture" activity has invited ProfessorDapeng Oliver Wuof City University of Hong Kong for an academic exchange. Below are the details of the session. Students and faculty members are welcome to attend.

Topic:Challenges in AI Security

Speaker:Prof. Dapeng Oliver Wu (IEEE Fellow, City University of Hong Kong)

Time: 16:00-17:00 (Monday), April 3, 2023

Venue: Research Building Block C, KC218

Host: Professor Ce Zhu, School of Information and Communication Engineering

Introduction:

With the recent breakthroughs, artificial intelligence, especially deep neural networks, is pervasively serving numerous areas such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and Internet of things. Deep neural networks are capable of making accurate predictions and reasonably good decisions but their predictions or decisions are not explicitly explainable. In particular, major security and privacy concerns exist in deep neural networks.

In this talk, I will first provide an overview of trustworthy deep neural networks and then focus on our recent research on a data-agnostic model stealing attack. The talk will conclude by discussing future research directions in security and privacy concerns and potential countermeasures in deep neural networks.
