Many thanks to my co-authors @cevherlions.bsky.social and Michael Muehlebach!

Looking forward to presenting this at ICLR 2025! If you're interested in adversarial robustness, I’d be happy to connect!
Adversarial Training for Defense Against Label Poisoning Attacks
As machine learning models grow in complexity and increasingly rely on publicly sourced data, such as the human-annotated labels used in training large language models, they become more vulnerable to ...

...an adversarial training framework designed to enhance robustness against these attacks.
🔹Defense formulated as a bilevel optimization framework using kernel SVMs.
🔹Adapts against poisoned labels, improving robust accuracy.
🔹Scalable and outperforms robust baselines under strong attacks.
