N-CRiPT Public Seminar: Trusted Data Sharing – Incentivizing Collaboration and Rights to be Forgotten in Machine Learning
Speaker: Associate Professor Bryan Low
Date & Time: Tuesday 29 December, 10.00am – 11.00am
In this talk, Prof Low will present his preliminary research efforts in trusted data sharing. Specifically, he will discuss how we can perform data valuation, incentivize multiple parties with data to collaborate in building higher-quality models, and unlearn a trained machine learning model from data to be erased (e.g. personal data, malicious data) for compliance with regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Act, General Data Protection Regulation, and the future of personal data ownership.
A recording of the webinar is available here.
