Held in Toronto, Canada, last month, the IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning (IEEE SATML) focuses on expanding on the theoretical and practical understandings of vulnerabilities inherent to ML systems, exploring the robustness of ML algorithms and systems, and aiding in developing a unified, coherent scientific community which aims to build trustworthy ML systems. The event’s organizers recognized only two papers with their Distinguished Paper Award, and new research by Brown CS PhD student Victor Ojewale was one of them.

Brown University’s Dean of the Faculty gives out five different awards annually to recognize continued excellence in teaching, and this year, Brown CS and Data Science Institute faculty member Ritambhara Singh has received the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching for a junior faculty member from the physical or life sciences.

Congratulations to DSI postdoc Cristina Menghini and Brown colleagues Stephen Bach (Assistant Professor of Computer Science) and Yong Zheng-Xin (PhD student in Computer Science)!

Professor Venkatasubramanian made the list as one of The Chronicle of Philanthropy's "33 Leaders Standing Up to Big Tech in the Age of A.I."

Tassallah Amina Abdullahi, a second-year doctoral student in Computer Science, has won a highly competitive Computational and Data Science Fellowship from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (ACM SIGHPC).

Congratulations to DSI’s Roberta DeVito (jointly appointed in Biostatistics), for winning the American Statistical Association’s 2022 W.J. Youden Award in Interlaboratory Testing

William Jordan, a member of the first cohort of Data Science master’s degree students, is a recipient of the 2019 Joukowsky Family Foundation Outstanding Dissertation Award.
