AGI SP25 Power Seminar Series: Confidential Deep Neural Inference for Real-Time Systems by Professor Monowar Hasan

About the event

Advanced Grid Institute (AGI) hosts “Confidential Deep Neural Inference for Real-Time Systems” to be presented by Professor Monowar Hasan, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, WSU

Abstract
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly used in time-critical, learning-enabled cyber-physical applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. Many of them have stringent temporal (i.e., “real-time”) requirements. Despite the growing use of various deep learning models in real-time systems, protecting DNN inference from adversarial threats while preserving model privacy and confidentiality remains a key concern for resource and timing-constrained systems. Based on our recent exploration and findings in this domain, this talk will present challenges and new techniques to enable confidential deep neural for real-time systems.
