Robust, private, distributed, and efficient machine learning systems.

SAIL is the Security and Artificial Intelligence Lab at VinUniversity. We study and build machine learning systems that are trustworthy, distributed across real-world settings, and efficient enough for practical deployment.

The lab connects trustworthy AI, federated and distributed learning, privacy, robustness, backdoor attacks and defenses, edge AI, communication efficiency, and resource-aware machine learning.

Research

Trustworthy AI

We study how machine learning systems behave under uncertainty, distribution shifts, adversarial conditions, and privacy constraints. Our work focuses on robustness, privacy protection, backdoor attacks and defenses, trustworthy evaluation, and safer deployment.

Distributed Learning

We design learning systems that work across distributed clients, data silos, institutions, and edge devices without centralizing private data. Our work includes federated learning, personalized learning, federated unlearning, fairness, communication efficiency, and cross-silo collaboration.

Efficient Machine Learning

We build efficient AI systems that reduce computation, communication, memory, and deployment cost. Our work studies resource-constrained learning, edge AI, efficient training, lightweight architectures, low-rank methods, and green AI infrastructure.
