Library and experiments for attacking machine learning in discrete domains using graph search.

See the documentation on Readthedocs, or jump directly to the guide.

Setup

Library

Install the trickster library as a Python package:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/spring-epfl/trickster#egg=trickster

Note that trickster requires Python 3.6.

Experiments

Python packages

Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

System packages

On Ubuntu, you need these system packages:

apt install parallel unzip

Datasets

To download the datasets, run this:

make data

The datasets include:

• UCI German credit dataset
• Zafar Gilani's Twitter bot classification dataset
• Tao Wang's knndata
