Statistically Undetectable Backdoors in Deep Neural Networks

Andrej Bogdanov, Alon Rosen, Neekon Vafa

We show how an adversarial model trainer can plant backdoors in a large class of deep, feedforward neural networks. These backdoors are statistically undetectable in the white-box…

Oblivious Defense in ML Models: Backdoor Removal without Detection

Shafi Goldwasser, Jonathan Shafer, Neekon Vafa +1

As society grows more reliant on machine learning, ensuring the security of machine learning systems against sophisticated attacks becomes a pressing concern. A recent result of Go…

Sparse Linear Regression and Lattice Problems

Aparna Gupte, Neekon Vafa, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

Sparse linear regression (SLR) is a well-studied problem in statistics where one is given a design matrix and a response vector for a -sp…

Continuous LWE is as Hard as LWE & Applications to Learning Gaussian Mixtures

Aparna Gupte, Neekon Vafa, Vinod Vaikuntanathan

We show direct and conceptually simple reductions between the classical learning with errors (LWE) problem and its continuous analog, CLWE (Bruna, Regev, Song and Tang, STOC 2021).…

Moonshine for All Finite Groups

Samuel DeHority, Xavier Gonzalez, Neekon Vafa +1

In recent literature, moonshine has been explored for some groups beyond the Monster, for example the sporadic O'Nan and Thompson groups. This collection of examples may suggest th…
