Title
An Introduction to Trustworthy Machine Learning
Lecturer

Content and organization
This course covers two privacy-related problems: (i) differentially private machine learning, and (ii) adversarial examples for privacy protection.
In the privacy module, we first give an introduction to the importance of privacy and personal data from a human-centered perspective. In the next lectures of this module, we will cover differential privacy and differentially private machine learning and introduce relevant libraries and frameworks for differentially private programming.
In the second part of the course, we first review the literature on designing adversarial examples. Then, we will describe how to exploit the vulnerability of deep neural networks to protect the content of images/audio through adversarial examples.
The course will offer theoretical explanations followed by examples using software developed by the presenters and distributed as open source. Attendees are expected to be familiar with basic concepts in machine learning, probability, and statistics. For the practical part of the tutorial, attendees will benefit from the knowledge of Python.
Below is the syllabus of the course
