Trustworthy machine learning addresses methods for training and deploying models that are secure, privacy-preserving, and robust to manipulation. Work in this area develops federated and decentralized learning schemes, cryptographic and homomorphic encryption frameworks, and privacy-preserving compression to protect data and models. It also studies adversarial example generation and defenses, certified unlearning, bias and spurious correlation mitigation, and the use of synthetic and filtered data. Applications span fraud and cyberattack detection, fake news and deception detection, and secure automation systems.
