CALL FOR PAPERS

ICML 2014 Workshop on Learning, Security and Privacy

Beijing, China, 25 or 26 June, 2014 (TBD)

Workshop overview:

Many machine learning settings give rise to security and privacy
requirements which are not well-addressed by traditional learning methods.
Security concerns arise in intrusion detection, malware analysis, biometric
authentication, spam filtering, and other applications where data may be
manipulated - either at the training stage or during the system deployment
- to reduce prediction accuracy.  Privacy issues are common to the analysis
of personal and corporate data ubiquitous in modern Internet services.
Learning methods addressing security and privacy issues face an interplay
of game theory, cryptography, optimization and differential privacy.

Despite encouraging progress in recent years, many theoretical and
practical challenges remain. Several emerging research areas, including
stream mining, mobility data mining, and social network analysis, require
new methodical approaches to ensure privacy and security.  There is also an
urgent need for methods that can quantify and enforce privacy and security
guarantees for specific applications.  The ever increasing abundance of
data raises technical challenges to attain scalability of learning methods
in security and privacy critical settings. These challenges can only be
addressed in the interdisciplinary context, by pooling expertise from the
traditionally disjoint fields of machine learning, security and privacy.

To encourage scientific dialogue and foster cross-fertilization among these
three fields, the workshop invites original submissions, ranging from
ongoing research to mature work, in any of the following core subjects:

- Statistical approaches for privacy preservation.
- Private decision making and mechanism design.
- Metrics and evaluation methods for privacy and security.
- Robust learning in adversarial environments.
- Learning in unknown / partially observable stochastic games.
- Distributed inference and decision making for security.
- Application-specific privacy preserving machine learning and decision
theory.
- Secure multiparty computation and cryptographic approaches for machine
learning.
- Cryptographic applications of machine learning and decision theory.
- Security applications: Intrusion detection and response, biometric
authentication, fraud detection, spam filtering, captchas.
- Security analysis of learning algorithms
- The economics of learning, security and privacy.
