CTFs for fun ;)

🌟 Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the CodeFest meetup organized by #Baot. The event featured a workshop on Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, which introduced me to this concept. These challenges tested my creativity, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of various technologies. The CTF challenges covered a wide range of subjects, including cryptography, steganography, web exploitation, reverse engineering, and network analysis. Each challenge presented a unique puzzle to solve, pushing me to sharpen my scripting, debugging, network analysis, and vulnerability exploitation skills. Participating in these challenges was a captivating experience that allowed me to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios. Even if it is not my main interest area it was good to discover new technologies and to deepen my understanding of cybersecurity and the technologies involved.

A Geometric Method for Improved Uncertainty Estimation in Real-time

Published in Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI), 2022

Machine learning classifiers are probabilistic in nature, and thus inevitably involve uncertainty. Predicting the probability of a specific input to be correct is called uncertainty (or confidence) estimation and is crucial for risk management. Post-hoc model calibrations can improve models’ uncertainty estimations without the need for retraining, and without changing the model. Our work puts forward a geometric-based approach for uncertainty estimation. Roughly speaking, we use the geometric distance of the current input from the existing training inputs as a signal for estimating uncertainty and then calibrate that signal (instead of the model’s estimation) using standard post-hoc calibration techniques. We show that our method yields better uncertainty estimations than recently proposed approaches by extensively evaluating multiple datasets and models.

Uncertainty Estimation based on Geometric Separation

Published in Under review, 2023

In machine learning, accurately predicting the probability that a specific input is correct is crucial for risk management. This process, known as uncertainty (or confidence) estimation, is particularly important in mission-critical applications such as autonomous driving. In this work, we put forward a novel geometric-based approach for improving uncertainty estimations in machine learning models. Our approach involves using the geometric distance of the current input from existing training inputs as a signal for estimating uncertainty, and then calibrating this signal using standard post-hoc techniques. We demonstrate that our method leads to more accurate uncertainty estimations than recently proposed approaches through extensive evaluation on a variety of datasets and models. Additionally, we optimize our approach so that it can be implemented on large datasets in near real-time applications, making it suitable for time-sensitive scenarios.
