私は李(り) 林翼(りんよく)です。サイモンフレーザー大学のコンピューティング科学学部の助教授を務めています。SFUでTAIラボのディレクターです。

私の研究は信頼性のあるディープラーニングに関するものであり、特に証明可能で信頼できるディープラーニングおよび信頼性の高いファウンデーションモデルに焦点を当てています。私の研究分野は機械学習とコンピューターセキュリティにまたがっています。具体的には、以下のことに取り組んでいます:

  • 大規模なディープラーニングシステムに対して、ロバスト性、公平性、数値的信頼性などの証明可能で検証可能な信頼性保証を実現すること;
  • ディープラーニングとファウンデーションモデルのメカニズム、特に信頼性問題の根本原因を理解し分析すること;
  • ファウンデーションモデルを科学的かつ包括的に評価すること。

これまでに、ICML、NeurIPS、ICLR、IEEE S&P、ACM CCSなどの主要な機械学習およびコンピューターセキュリティの会議で30本以上の論文を発表しました。私は「データサイエンスのライジングスター」「AdvMLライジングスター賞」、および「ウィング・カイ・チェン奨学金」を受賞しました。また、2023年には「第4回ニューラルネットワーク検証競技会(VNN-COMP’23)」で優勝したチーム\(\alpha,\beta\)-CROWNの共同リーダーを務めました。さらに、2022年のクアルコム・イノベーション奨学金およびTwo Sigma PhDフェローシップのファイナリストにも選ばれました。

私は2023年にイリノイ大学アーバナ・シャンペーン校のコンピュータサイエンス学部で博士号を取得しました。指導教員は素晴らしい李博教授と謝涛教授です。2018年に清華大学のコンピュータ科学技術学部で学士号を取得し、当時は白晓颖教授の指導の下でWeb APIの自動テストに関する研究を行っていました。2023年から2024年にかけて、ByteDanceでシニアリサーチサイエンティストとして勤務しました。また、2022年と2019年にマイクロソフト(Adam KalaiおよびNeel Sundaresanの指導下)、2021年に富士通アメリカ研究所(Mukul Prasadの指導下)、2017年にカーネギーメロン大学(Matt Fredriksonの指導下)でインターンを経験しました。

    キーワード: attacks for ML

    Summary We systematically analyzed the gradient estimator that guides black-box attacks for DNNs, which reveals several key factors that can lead to more accurate gradient estimation with fewer queries. One way to realize these key factors is to conduct the attack with gradient estimation on a particularly scaled version of the image, which leads to the PSBA black-box attack with SOTA query effciency.
