We are seeking highly motivated and skilled individuals to join our team as part-time research interns in Computer Science and Engineering.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Implement a successful gradient-free test-time evasion attack against a classifier trained for the MNIST domain.
  • Develop and implement algorithms to perform gradient-free TTE attacks (targeted attacks) in Matlab.
  • Report the attack success rate and the average number of classifier queries needed to achieve a successful attack.
  • Display representative attacked image examples to show whether the attack is perceptible or imperceptible.
  • Consider at least two different gradient-free attack algorithms, or two variants of the same algorithm.
  • Suggest a simple algorithm for detecting attacks and report its performance (true detection rate at a fixed false positive rate, or ROC AUC curve, by varying the true detection rate versus false positive rate, by changing the detection threshold).
Requirements:
  • Strong background in computer science and engineering.
  • Excellent programming skills in Matlab.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
What We Offer:
