09.06.2020

Francesco Ranzato (Mathematics Department of the University of Padua) has been awarded in Facebook's "2020 Probability and Programming research awards" together with Roberto Giacobazzi (University of Verona) for the "Adversarial machine learning by morphological abstract interpretation" project, which studies the vulnerability of artificial intelligence systems

The social network received 70 proposals from more than 51 universities in 16 countries. The two professors were the only Italians awarded in this edition.

“While it was expected that the proposals would be excellent scientific directions in their own right, it is great they also are on topics of current interest to us from a more applied point of view,” says Satish Chandra, Software Engineer at Facebook. “We look forward to having rich technical exchanges with each of the project teams.”
