Learning Outcomes

Students have a comprehensive understanding of how machine learning is applied to security problems. They are able to design feature spaces for security data and select appropriate learning concepts and algorithms. They can develop learning-based systems for threat detection, malware analysis, and vulnerability discovery. They are also aware of security threats, such as poisoning and evasion, and know about countermeasures to mitigate them. They understand ethical implications of applying learning-based systems in practice.

Content

Principles of machine learning for computer security; feature spaces and embeddings; threat and intrusion detection; malware analysis; vulnerability discovery; deanonymization attacks; poisoning and evasion of security systems; unsupervised and supervised learning concepts for security; algorithms for classification, anomaly detection, clustering, and dimension reduction on security data; experimental design principles
