  1. Influence estimation + Tree ensembles + Lots of empirical results = Our new paper in JMLR!

    My two favorite results:
    1. TracIn is easily adapted to trees, and works great.
    2. In some settings, approximate influence estimates are much better than exact!

  2. In #AdversarialML, targeted training set attacks are one of the biggest threats to #MachineLearning -- highly effective and hard to detect!

    In a #NewPaper at #CCS2022 this week, Zayd Hammoudeh and I show how you can use #InfluenceEstimation to detect, understand, and stop these attacks!

    Our methods work against backdoor and poisoning attacks, in vision/test/audio domains, and against adaptive attackers.
