Adversarial machine learning for protecting against online manipulation

23 Nov 2021  ·  Stefano Cresci, Marinella Petrocchi, Angelo Spognardi, Stefano Tognazzi ·

Adversarial examples are inputs to a machine learning system that result in an incorrect output from that system. Attacks launched through this type of input can cause severe consequences: for example, in the field of image recognition, a stop signal can be misclassified as a speed limit indication.However, adversarial examples also represent the fuel for a flurry of research directions in different domains and applications. Here, we give an overview of how they can be profitably exploited as powerful tools to build stronger learning models, capable of better-withstanding attacks, for two crucial tasks: fake news and social bot detection.
