Competition Overview
Recent work has shown that neural networks can contain stealthy backdoors, much like traditional software that allow attackers to trigger malicious behavior. The HackML competition will challenge teams to design new, more powerful backdoor attacks on neural networks, and to develop novel defenses and detections.
