Generating Adversarial Attacks and Defense Methods for Online Fraud Detection

Each year, the Simons Institute welcomes its industry partners to Calvin Lab for an annual Industry Day symposium. The goal of the day is to foster exchange and collaboration between our partners and our community of graduate students, postdoctoral research fellows, and senior researchers. Current industry partners include Apple, Google, J.P. Morgan, Microsoft Research, NTT Research, PayPal, Ripple, VMware, Roc360, and Algorand. 

One presentation we especially enjoyed at this year’s event, which took place this month, was by Nitin Sharma from PayPal. He spoke about how his team generates adversarial examples for fraud detection.
