Talk: Making Machine Learning Models Safer, 4pm Wed 11/29
Data and Model Perspectives
Making Machine Learning Models Safer: Data and Model Perspectives
Dr. Kowshik Thopalli, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
4:00-5:15pm Wed, Nov 29, ENGR 231 and WebEx
As machine learning systems are increasingly deployed in real-world settings like healthcare, finance, and scientific applications, ensuring their safety and reliability is crucial. However, many state-of-the-art ML models still suffer from issues like poor out-of-distribution generalization, sensitivity to input corruptions, requiring large amounts of data, and inadequate calibration - limiting their robustness and trustworthiness for critical real-world applications. In this talk, I will first present a broad overview of different safety considerations for modern ML systems. I will then proceed to discuss our recent efforts in making ML models safer from two complementary perspectives - (i) manipulating data and (ii) enriching the model capabilities by developing novel training mechanisms. I will discuss our work on designing new data augmentation techniques for object detection followed by demonstrating how, in the absence of data from desired target domains of interest, one could leverage pre-trained generative models for efficient synthetic data generation. Next, I will present a new paradigm of training deep networks called model anchoring and show how one could achieve similar properties to an ensemble but through a single model. I will specifically discuss how model anchoring can significantly enrich the class of hypothesis functions being sampled and demonstrate its effectiveness through its improved performance on several safety benchmarks. I will conclude by highlighting exciting future research directions for producing robust ML models through leveraging multi-modal foundation models.
Kowshik Thopalli is a Machine Learning Scientist and a post-doctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His research focuses on developing reliable machine learning models that are robust under distribution shifts. He has published papers on a variety of techniques to address model robustness, including domain adaptation, domain generalization, and test-time adaptation using geometric and meta-learning approaches. His expertise also encompasses integrating diverse knowledge sources, such as domain expert guidance and generative models, to improve model data efficiency, accuracy, and resilience to distribution shifts. He received his Ph.D. in 2023 from Arizona State University.

A Continued Focus on Safety, Care, and Support
Updates and Expectations
Dear UMBC Community,
As we look ahead to the remainder of the semester, we know that the usual busyness of this season and the last few weeks of classes and final exams may feel especially challenging in the context of world events, most especially the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Many among our UMBC community continue to feel direct and indirect impacts of the conflict, as well as of the resulting rise in antisemitism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia toward Israelis and Palestinians that we are seeing throughout society.
Here on our campus, the month of December brings not only end-of-semester deadlines and exams, but also celebrations and special occasions, including many student-organized religious observations.
All of this is on our minds. We are thinking carefully about how to continue to best support and attend to the well-being of all members of our community--students, faculty, and staff--and foster a healthy campus climate that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive. We have reached out with support and care for individuals who are being directly affected by events abroad and here at home. We are attending to safety and security needs and responding to any reports of harassment, discrimination, or threats. We also have met and are continuing to meet with relevant student organizations, as well as with members of UMBC's Religious Council, to hear and understand their perspectives and work toward the ongoing co-creation of the inclusive community we strive to be.
Some additional updates:
- As we continue to work closely with student organizations to ensure the safety of their events and activities, we have increased the level of security in the Commons broadly. If you have an immediate concern about safety on campus, please contact the UMBC Police Department at 410-455-5555.
- For students in particular, we will offer resources and events to help you manage stress through the end of the semester. Please watch for details in the coming days. Faculty and staff can continue to access such support through our Employee Assistance Program.
- We know that UMBC's academic calendar is especially demanding in the fall semester. We are undertaking a review of the calendar for potential adjustments in future years.
Heading into the final weeks of the semester, remember that it is our collective responsibility to help ensure that every member of our community feels safe, welcomed, and valued. Please continue to report any incidents of harassment or bias through the Office of Equity and Civil Rights'
online reporting form, or by emailing
ecr@umbc.edu or calling 410-455-1717. We must show respect for differing viewpoints, beliefs, practices, and needs, and we ask you to continue to extend kindness, compassion, and flexibility to one another, knowing that individuals may be struggling. Grant yourself some grace, as well. These are challenging days.
Finally, we share with you the attached message from University System of Maryland Chancellor Jay A. Perman, which he sent to system colleagues just before Thanksgiving. In it, he reminds us of the promise of higher education to help us bridge what divides us, and he expresses his hope that in time we will go beyond words denouncing hate to achieve "a shared commitment to using our work for light and peace." We join Chancellor Perman in this hope, and we believe in the power of this extraordinary community to realize it.
Sincerely,
President Valerie Sheares Ashby
Interim Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs David P. Dauwalder
Vice President for Institutional Equity and Chief Diversity Officer Tanyka M. Barber
Vice President for Student Affairs Renique T. Kersh

Talk: Binding Crypto Context in Network Protocols 12pm 12/1
The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab presents
Automatically Binding Cryptographic Context to Messages in Network Protocols Using Formal Methods
Enis Golaszewski
UMBC CSEE Department
12-1 pm, Friday, 1 Dec. 2023 via WebEx
We present an automatic tool for binding formal network protocol specifications to their underlying cryptographic contexts, eliminating harmful protocol interactions, including Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. Operating in the strand space model, our tool takes as input an arbitrary two-party protocol specification, infers a cryptographic context from the protocol terms, and outputs a specification for an improved protocol that is the composition of the input protocol and our novel context-exchange protocol. Our context-exchange protocol binds cryptographic values to a unique session, using a Merkle hash tree to represent context. Our tool applies the following operations on context: initialize, append, sign, and verify. For each input protocol specification, our tool outputs context-equivalence security goals, which we then verify using the Cryptographic Protocol Shapes Analyzer (CPSA). To our knowledge, our tool is the first of its kind. It represents a significant step towards eliminating attacks resulting from unwanted protocol interactions, which are the cause for most known structural weaknesses in protocols. Support for this research was provided in part by the National Security Agency under an INSuRE+C grant via Northeastern University.
Host: Alan T. Sherman,

Unlock collaborative learning with cloud tools in Blackboard
Discover Google Workspace and Microsoft OneDrive
Cloud resources can transform a course design with streamlined document display and reduce storage footprint. Two new integrations from Google Workspace and Microsoft OneDrive offer cloud-based file management for Ultra courses. These tools allow faculty to select existing files, such as a syllabus or course schedule, and embed them seamlessly into a course for students to view. Customized privileges ensure only the document owner can modify the file within the framework of the course or the cloud drive while keeping the learner's access restricted to read-only.
Additionally, these tools support student collaboration, allowing for dynamic exchange of ideas, peer learning, co-authorship, and presentation planning. Creating a collaborative document in Google or Microsoft provides an exciting opportunity for faculty to support student teamwork in a shared environment directly embedded in the Ultra course space. Leverage these tools with students for real-time writing and editing, brainstorming, project planning, and other collaborative experiences.
