Adaptive Domain Inference Attack with Concept Hierarchy

Professor Keke Chen, CSEE, UMBC

12:00 noon–1pm Friday, April 11, 2025 online

 Joint work with Yuechun Gu and Jiajie He

To appear, 2015 Int. Conf. on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

With increasingly deployed deep neural networks in sensitive application domains, such as healthcare and security, it is essential to understand what kind of sensitive information can be inferred from these models. Most known model-targeted attacks assume attackers have learned the application domain or training data distribution to ensure successful attacks. Can removing the domain information from model APIs protect models from these attacks? Our work studies this critical problem. Unfortunately, even with minimal knowledge, i.e., accessing the model as an unnamed function without leaking the meaning of input and output, the proposed adaptive domain inference (ADI) attack can still successfully estimate relevant subsets of training data. We show that the extracted relevant data can significantly improve the performance of model-inversion attacks, for instance. Specifically, the ADI method uses the concept hierarchy extracted from the public and private datasets that the attacker can access, and it applies a novel algorithm to adaptively tune the likelihood of leaf concepts in the hierarchy showing up in the unseen training data. For comparison, we also designed a straightforward hypothesis-testing-based attack called LDI. Among all candidate methods, the ADI attack extracts partial training data at the concept level, converges fastest, and requires the fewest target-model accesses.

Dr. Keke Chen is an associate professor in the UMBC CSEE Department. His recent research focuses on privacy and security issues with AI model training and deployment. He earned his PhD in computer science from Georgia Tech in 2006. Before joining UMBC, he was a Northwestern Mutual associate professor of computer science at Marquette University. 

Support for this event was provided in part by the NSF under SFS grant DGE-1753681.

** Update. Package had not been delivered by Amazon but has now been received. Thanks!

In the ongoing saga of Amazon misdirected deliveries....I should have received a package on Friday delivered to "reception" but it wasn't delivered to the HRSTM reception area. If you find a box of document frames addressed to Melody Wright, Human Resources & Strategic Talent Management (Admin 508), please let me know. 

Yes, I looked all over, and in the lobby of the building where they are usually left by accident, but it isn't there.

***repost***

iHARP Talk Tuesday
April 8, 2025 | 4-5pm  | Webex
Dr. Eric Stokan, Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3), an associate professor of political science, and an affiliate faculty in the School of Public Policy at UMBC.

Transdisciplinary Collaborations to Address Our “Wicked Problems"

This talk centers on building successful collaborations and partnerships to address the “wicked problems” we face within and across our communities.  From developing strategic plans aimed at mitigating flooding to building alternative energy infrastructure, overcoming our disciplinary boundaries and leveraging knowledge across our colleges, institutions, and communities is an important pathway to addressing the most pressing challenges we face today.

The Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3), Dr. Eric Stokan, will describe and highlight the results of partnerships between CS3 and COEIT and iHarp, the Metropolitan Governance and Management Transitions (MGMT) lab at IU Bloomington, and others. The talk will reflect on the results and outcomes of these collaborations.

The second part of the talk will highlight opportunities for increased engagement with social scientists and humanists and supports to make this happen. Drawing on social science and public management theory, this talk will make the case that finding these points of collaboration are increasingly important and necessary for the challenges ahead..

Dr. Eric Stokan is the Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3), an associate professor of political science, and an affiliate faculty in the School of Public Policy at UMBC.  He also serves as a faculty affiliate to the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University and is co-director and faculty affiliate to the Metropolitan Government and Management Lab (MGMT) at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington.  Dr. Stokan’s research explores how governments balance economic growth goals with community development activities and environmental protections equitably. Further, he studies the impact of local government policy decisions on economic and social equity outcomes.
