Abstract
Machine learning (ML) systems are remarkably successful on a variety of benchmarks across several domains. In these benchmarks, the test data points, though not identical, are very similar to the training data. On the other hand, success in the real world requires good performance across a broad range of inputs that are potentially very different from the training data. Self-driving cars encounter unexpected construction zones, predictive health-care systems run into unforeseen changes in demographics, and real world systems are exposed to attackers who strategically generate inputs. Unfortunately, current ML systems are brittle and fail even under extremely small changes to inputs, as demonstrated by the existence of adversarial examples. As ML systems are becoming widely deployed, we need to build robust ML models that are guaranteed to work well across a wide range of inputs. While adversarial examples attracted widespread attention, progress has been limited by critical computational and statistical roadblocks which we address in this thesis.
