Backdoor Attack
Backdoor attacks exploit vulnerabilities in machine learning models by embedding hidden triggers during training, causing the model to produce malicious outputs when the trigger is present. Current research focuses on developing and mitigating these attacks across various model architectures, including deep neural networks, vision transformers, graph neural networks, large language models, and spiking neural networks, with a particular emphasis on understanding attack mechanisms and developing robust defenses in federated learning and generative models. The significance of this research lies in ensuring the trustworthiness and security of increasingly prevalent machine learning systems across diverse applications, ranging from object detection and medical imaging to natural language processing and autonomous systems.
