 Every technical product is now incorporating machine learning at an explos
 ive rate. But most people\, even those with strong technical skills\, don'
 t understand how it works\, what its capabilities are\, and what security 
 risks come with it. In this workshop\, we'll make machine learning models 
 using simple Python scripts\, train them\, and evaluate their value. Proje
 cts include computer vision\, breaking a CAPTCHA\, deblurring images\, reg
 ression\, and classification tasks. We\n\nwill perform poisoning and evasi
 on attacks on machine learning systems\, and implement deep neural rejecti
 on to block such attacks.\n\n\n\n\nNo experience with programming or machi
 ne learning is required\, and the only software required is a Web browser.
  We will use TensorFlow on free Google Colab cloud systems.\n\nAll materia
 ls and challenges are freely available at samsclass.info\, and will remain
  available after the workshop ends.\n\n\n\n\nSkill Level: Beginner\n\nPrer
 equisites for students: None\n\n\n\n\nMaterials or Equipment students will
  need to bring to participate: A computer with a Web browser\n\n\n\n\nBios
