Backdoor attacks, a.k.a. Environment Poisoning, a.k.a. Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment) against Reinforcement (Single, Multi-Agent, Distributed\/Federated) Learning. Naturally, we use deep learning methods, but also rely on game theory, information theory, and evolutionary\/genetic methods.<\/p>\n<p>With core methodology available, we now look into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>scale (more agents, more complex interactions and domains)<\/li>\n<li>efficiency (data needed, attack timing)<\/li>\n<li>stealth and targeting (impacting a specific portion of a multi-agent system, obfuscating attack information)<\/li>\n<li>applicability (attacking a greater variety of learning algorithms and frameworks, reducing knowledge of the targeted agent&#8217;s structures and motivations)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Biography<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Rabinovich is currently a member of the School of Computer Science faculty at the Carleton University, Ottawa, where I have moved from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>His prior experience also includes: the Research and Development Department of Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd.; a Postdoctoral Researcher appointment at the Department of Computer Science at the Bar-Ilan University; and a Research Fellow position with the School of Electronics and Computer Sciences at the University of Southampton.<\/p>\n<p>Ph.D. in Computer Science was conferred on me by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2008.<\/p>\n<h3>Research Group<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the-lab-of-z.zinovi.net\/\">The Lab of Z<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[12],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
