ACM Workshop on Wireless Security and Machine Learning (WiseML 2023)

The ACM Workshop on Wireless Security and Machine Learning (WiseML 2023) will be held in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec 2023). Accepted, registered, and presented papers will appear in the conference proceedings and the ACM digital library.

Scope and background

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a viable solution to effectively learn from spectrum data, solve complex tasks for IoT, 5G and beyond, and secure the emerging communication systems against adversaries. Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy of adversarial ML (AML) techniques to negatively impact the performance of ML based wireless systems, which requires better understanding on the impact of AML on wireless technologies. On the other hand, the proliferation of wireless devices operating with diverse communication technologies in heterogeneous spectrum environments has made them susceptible targets to various attacks. Harnessing efficient, robust ML algorithms for wireless security that can operate under constrained power and computational resources, is of paramount importance for guaranteeing the integrity of wireless communications. Undoubtedly, an effort to investigate the interactions between ML and wireless security, privacy, and robustness, would be both timely and indispensable. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together members of the ML, privacy, security, wireless communications, and networking communities from around the world and offer them the opportunity to share the latest research findings in these emerging and critical areas, as well as to exchange ideas and foster research collaborations, in order to further advance the state-of-the-art.
