Abstract: Machine learning has become ubiquitous, being deployed in a range for domains like self driving cars, medical imaging and face recognition. With this increased use of machine learning an important question arises, how secure are these systems? In this presentation we dive into the security vulnerabilities of machine learning. Specifically we analyze the new Vision Transformer architecture to see how robust it is to adversarial attacks and how it can be used to further advance the field of adversarial machine learning.
