ELSA – European Lighthouse on Secure and Safe AI

We are excited to see ELSA researchers spread their knowledge and experience all over the globe!🌏 This time, Battista Biggio presented research on "Wild Patterns: Twenty Years of Attacks and Defenses in Machine Learning Security" at #RAID2025. You can find his slides here: https://lnkd.in/egV5Mtak #MachineLearning #MLSecurity

Applications are still open: Join the first #CISPA European Cybersecurity & AI Hackathon Championship on November 22 in Paris! The Championships invite bachelor’s and master’s students ready to take on cutting-edge challenges in #AI and #Cybersecurity. Organized by Franziska Boenisch and Adam Dziedzic, you can bet that the challenge will be demanding. 😉 Find your team and 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟰: https://lnkd.in/eP5HKHvS CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security #Hackathon #AIChallenge #CybersecurityChallenge

Reminder: Until October 31, you can still apply for the #ELLISPhD program 2025. Eligible students conduct an 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 with the international advisor during their degree and can choose one of three tracks: 1️⃣ Interdisciplinary Track – Cross-domain collaboration with an academic partner specialised in a field unrelated to AI (e.g., biology, law, finance, etc.) 2️⃣ Academic Track – Collaboration in AI/Machine Learning with an academic partner in another country  3️⃣ Industry Track – Collaboration in AI/Machine Learning with an Industry partner Here's all you need to know about the program and the application: https://lnkd.in/eEeKfYxs ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems #PhD #exchangeprogram

This week, another amazing event from the ELSA network takes place: the 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 (𝗖𝗦𝗖𝗦) at ACM CCS! 𝗢𝗻 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟳, the workshop participants will build on the legacy of the ACM Computer Science in Cars Symposium, as CSCS continues to advance the field, fostering discussions that bridge academia and industry. 📍Session 1: Opening and Security Trends 📍Session 2: Short Paper and Work-in-progress Session 📍Session 3: Trust and Network Analysis 📍Session 4: Security Testing We wish all participants a great session! Enjoy the expert input, learning, and networking. #ACMCCS #ACMCCS2025 #conference

How good is your knowledge on #Safety #Constraints for Large Language Models? Would you like to learn more? Then join the Machine Learning Security Laboratory's upcoming session by Xin Chen! On 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟮, Xin Chen will talk about SaP: "Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools but pose significant safety risks through harmful outputs and vulnerability to adversarial attacks. We propose SaP, short for Safety Polytope, a geometric approach to LLM safety that learns and enforces multiple safety constraints directly in the model’s representation space."

Call for talk contributions: Workshop "Foundations of Language Model Security" @ EurIPS 2025! Until 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟳, you can apply to become part of the EurIPS workshop with a talk that: - advances the foundations of language model security - presents work that clarifies the mathematical and computational properties underlying vulnerabilities - sheds light on how model internals process adversarial inputs - proposes evaluation frameworks that better capture real-world security risks.

For ELSA Coordinators Mario Fritz and Miriam Schwartz, the 2nd #ELLIS Coordinator's Retreat was a valuable occasion to -- network, -- exchange knowledge and experience, -- evaluate opportunities to sustain our network's work beyond the project duration. It was great to see how the networks work together and support each other. A big thank you goes to the organizers! #ELSAAI #ELLIS ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems
