MAESTRO (August 2020 – ongoing)
Project Category: Education
Collaboratosr: PI Sameer Singh, PI Zhou Li
Description: MAESTRO is an educational tool for training courses in robust AI oriented to undergraduate and graduate students. It provides a friendly competitive programming environment for a hands-on experience in adversarial AI. In a contextualized fashion (game-based assignments), students actively participate in competitive programming to build adversarial attacks and defenses, and using the MAESTRO leaderboard as a gamification tool, students can comprehensively compare their submissions with the baselines and the results of other students, effectively encouraging interaction and eagerness to learn. MAESTRO is open-source and available to researchers and educators as a resource for implementing and deploying successful teaching methods in AI-cybersecurity and robust AI.
