Keynote 1: Dr. Shengzhi Zhang (Boston University Metropolitan College, USA) （Session Chair: Weizhi Meng，DTU, Denmark）

Title：Watermarking Machine Learning Models

Machine learning models are valuable IP of their owners due to the tremendous amount of expertise, effort, and computing power involved in designing, training, validating, and commercializing them. In this talk, we will first discuss challenges in designing watermarks given relevant adaptive attacks and then generalize the requirements for watermarks to survive those attacks. Finally, we will present some watermarking approaches in different scenarios.

9:45-10:30

Keynote 2: Prof. Shouling Ji (Zhejiang University, China) （Session Chair: Weizhi Meng，DTU, Denmark）

Title: Large Model Security and Its Security Impact

With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLM), the landscape of cybersecurity has experienced a paradigm shift. In this talk, we will first discuss the emerging security and privacy risks of large models. Then, we shift to discuss the impacts of large models on security with case studies.
