  • Slide 3 of 4
    The workshop I selected was excellent, with a strong focus on practical labs, and I walked away feeling much more equipped to handle upcoming challenges in machine learning security. The presentation, content, and examples were top-notch, and I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of adversarial ML.
