About the Speakers

Ted Xiao, Founder and President at ML@B(Machine Learning at Berkeley)

Ted's main focus is in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Most recently, he founded Machine Learning at Berkeley, a student-run organization building a machine learning community at UC Berkeley. They have grown to more than 150 members, with selective teams working on real-world problems and research projects.Currently, he studies under the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Group in the Hybrid Systems Laboratory.

Raul Puri, Deep Learning Researcher, Educator at ML@B(Machine Learning at Berkeley)

Raul Puri is a graduating undergraduate researcher at UC Berkeley CO 2017. Raul has contributed to research projects in several fields including but not limited to: Robotics and Automation, Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, BioMems devices, etc. However, the bulk of his research work is focused on Machine Learning and Machine Learning Systems with applications to security, anomaly detection, NLP, and computer vision and robotics. Raul is also passionate about giving back to the community by teaching applied ML concepts and is a teaching assistant or instructor in several Berkeley ML class offerings.

Join our new RobotX Meetup Workshop to explore deep learning/Security/NLP by ML@B(Machine Learning at Berkeley) . Be ready to learn, exchange views, connect with a cross section of powerful thought leaders and industry peers.

Deep Learning + Security
Deep Learning’s great success in the last few years can be attributed to its capability to leverage large amounts of data to learn extremely complex relationships in the data. This obviously makes data a valuable commodity in the current Deep Learning industry. It’s expensive. It is as valuable, if not more valuable, than the network architecture you trained. However, given sufficient knowledge about your system, a third party can effectively reverse engineer a near equivalent, or in certain cases an equivalent, model to your Deep Learning model. We will discuss the different degrees of attacks, how they’re created, and strategies to defend against them.

NLP Workshop
This will be an all encompassing workshop for natural language processing. We will briefly go over the concept of a language/grammar, and traditional natural language processing as has been performed up until the Deep Learning explosion in recent years. We will then cover the advances deep learning has to offer, goals that we
believe will be reached in the next few years, and problems in the field/where to go from here.
