The SandLabs Team currently consists of Wyatt Walsh and Ryan Epprecht. Having met in high school, this dynamic duo has a rich history together and each member brings a rich set of experiences and skills to the team. Navigate to their various profiles if you are interested in learning more about Wyatt or Ryan. SandLabs aims to explore the blockchain domain via a data scientific lens to generate new insights and make helpful contributions to the BlockchainxData communities and beyond. The initial focus of our work will be data collection, extraction, and processing high-quality data for future use.

Fawkes may prevent a new facial recognition system from recognizing a person but can't change or sabotage the existing systems that have already been trained on one's unprotected images. Thus, Valeriia Cherepanova and her colleagues at the University of Maryland, one of the teams at ICLR, recently addressed this issue and developed a tool called LowKey. This tool expands on Fawkes by applying perturbations to images based on a stronger adversarial attack, which can also fool the pretrained commercial models.
