Building machine learning solutions that can withstand adversarial attacks

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Parvez Ahammad, who leads the data science and machine learning efforts at Instart Logic. He has applied machine learning in a variety of domains, most recently to computational neuroscience and security. Along the way, he has assembled and managed teams of data scientists and has had to grapple with issues like explainability and interpretability, ethics, insufficient amount of labeled data, and adversaries who target machine learning models. As more companies deploy machine learning models into products, it’s important to remember there are many other factors that come into play aside from raw performance metrics.
