#ICML2022 Test of Time award announced

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) Test of Time award is given to a paper from ICML ten years ago that has had significant impact. The paper investigates adversarial machine learning and, specifically, poisoning attacks on support vector machines (SVMs). The awards committee noted that this paper is one of the earliest and most impactful papers on the theme of poisoning attacks, which are now widely studied by the community. The authors use a gradient ascent strategy in which the gradient is computed based on properties of the SVM's optimal solution. The method can be kernelized, thereby not needing explicit feature representation.
