Vidyasagar Sadhu Working with Prof. Pompili Wins the Center for Science of Information Student Research Project

21 Sep 2016

ECE graduate student Vidyasagar Sadhu (working with Professor Dario Pompili) and his multi-university team has won the Center for Science of Information (CsoI) student research project grant funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The year-long project, titled “Defending Large-Scale Distributed Machine Learning Against Adversarial Attacks”, is supported with an amount of $6,000 towards meeting/travel expenses. This student-led project, which is in collaboration with three other PhD students – Lili Su (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Seyyed Fatemi (University of Hawaii, Manoa), and Rehana Mahfuz (Purdue University, West Lafayette), aims at developing novel algorithmic techniques that can contain/counter the effects of selfish agents/Byzantine attacks in a distributed machine-learning scenario.

Congratulations Vidyasagar!
