Abstract

We present here the main research topics and activities on the design, security, safety, and robustness of machine learning models developed at the Pattern Recognition and Applications Laboratory (PRALab) of the University of Cagliari. Our findings have significantly contributed to identifying and characterizing the vulnerability of such models to adversarial attacks in the context of real-world applications and proposing robust techniques to make these models more reliable in security-critical scenarios.
