*Title: *   Trustworthy Machine Learning under Social and Adversarial Data
Sources
*Abstract:* Machine learning has witnessed remarkable breakthroughs in
recent years. Many machine learning techniques assume that the training and
test data are sampled from an underlying distribution and aim to find a
predictor with low population loss. However, in the real world, data may be
generated by *strategic individuals*, collected by *self-interested data
collectors*, possibly poisoned by *adversarial attackers*, and used to
create predictors, models, and policies satisfying *multiple objectives*.
As a result, predictors may underperform. To ensure the success of machine
learning, it is crucial to develop trustworthy algorithms capable of
handling these factors.
