This $128,737 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of "NetFortify," an open-source framework to enhance the reliability of machine learning (ML) approaches for critical networking functions. The 5-year project led by Princeton University aims to: (1) define formal semantics for "contextual robustness" in ML-powered networking, (2) integrate formal methods and adversarial ML to assess robustness, and (3) leverage failure-directed scenarios to improve the dependability of ML in networking via logic/adversarial retraining and certification. By creating NetFortify, the project will establish new testing standards for robustness, benefiting researchers, industry, and network operators. The award also incorporates educational components, such as an interactive NetFortify game and seminars to integrate networking technology and ML into STEM curricula.
