Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees

Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees

We present a sound verification technique based on abstract interpretation and implement it in a tool called Antidote, which abstractly trains decision trees for an intractably large space of possible poisoned datasets.

Technical Perspective: Beautiful Symbolic Abstractions for Safe and Secure Machine Learning

Technical Perspective: Beautiful Symbolic Abstractions for Safe and Secure Machine Learning

"Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees," by Samuel Drews et al., addresses the challenge of processing an intractably large set of trained models when enumeration is infeasible in a clean, beautiful, and elegant…
