COMPSCI 684 Trustworthy & Responsible AI (formerly CS 690F)

In the era of intelligent assistants, autonomous agents, and self-driving cars we expect AI systems to not cause harm and withstand adversarial attacks. In this course you will learn advanced methods of building AI models and systems that mitigate privacy, security, societal, and environmental risks. We will go deep into attack vectors and what type of guarantees current research can and cannot provide for modern generative models. The course will feature extensive hands-on experience with model training and regular discussion of key research papers. The course will operate under the assumption that students have previously taken NLP, general ML, and security classes before taking this course. The course number was formerly CS 690F.
