{ "name":"Waterloo Workshop on ML + Verification + Security | Aug 26-30, 2019", "description": "https://ticketfi.com/event/2793/waterloo-workshop-on-ml-verification-security-aug-26-30-2019\n\n\"Over the last decade, machine learning (ML) has had a revolutionary impact on many fields of science and engineering. Problems once deemed impossible, such as automatic language translation, are now solved routinely thanks to ML. An example of a field undergoing revolutionary change thanks to ML is verification. Today's verification tools, such as SAT\\/SMT solvers, are ever more scalable thanks to their use of sophisticated ML methods. Conversely, ML needs verification and security because of increasingly sophisticated attacks on ML models. There is an urgent need for experts (theorists and practitioners) in these fields to work together, if ML is to continue to have significant impact and adoption.\\n \\nThe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo invites you to attend a week-long workshop, August 26 to August 30th, where we will bring together speakers who are world-renowned practitioners and theorists in ML, verification and security to speak on inter-disciplinary research being conducted on ML for verification+security, and verification+security for ML. The goal is not only to educate each other, but the next generation of researchers in this exciting new inter-disciplinary field.\\n\\nA program\\/schedule will be made available for download soon!\\n\\nRegistration for Masters, PhDs, postdocs, and early-stage professors is now closed.  \\n\\nRegistration for members of industry is still open, but seats are limited.  There is a registration fee to attend this event.  If you are a member of industry, you can  register at: https:\\/\\/webreg.uwaterloo.ca\\/onlinereg\\/Register\\/default.aspx?code=C000566\\n\\nAll attendees are required to submit their CV via email to:\\n\\nAndrea Pinos, Communications and Awards Officer\\nDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering\\naepinos@uwaterloo.ca\\n \\nLOCATION:  The workshop will be held at the University of Waterloo on our main campus  in the Science Teaching Complex  (STC), Room 1012.  You can download a map here.\\n\\nPlease note we do not provide travel grants to attendees.\\n\\nIf you are travelling to Waterloo and are looking for accommodation, here are a few options:\\n\\n\\n\\tGuest Rooms at St. Paul's University College (affiliated with University of Waterloo and located on its main campus).  \\n\\tComfort Inn\\n\\tInn of Waterloo\\n\\n\\nIf you are driving to Waterloo, you can download information for parking here.\\n\\nIf you have questions or require assistance, please contact:\\nAndrea Pinos, Communications and Awards Officer\\nDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering\\naepinos@uwaterloo.ca\\n519-888-4567 x33708\\n\"", "startDate":"2019-08-26", "endDate":"2019-08-26", "startTime":"09:00", "endTime":"10:00", "location":"University of Waterloo Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering - the Workshop will be held in EIT 3142 - Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
