The Secure, Reliable, and Intelligent Systems (SRI) Lab is a research
group in the Department of Computer Science at ETH
Zurich.
Our research focuses on reliable, secure, and trustworthy machine learning, with emphasis on large language
models.
We currently study issues of controllability, security and privacy, and reliable
evaluation of LLMs, their application to mathematical reasoning and coding, as well as generative AI
watermarking, AI regulations, federated learning privacy, robustness and
fairness certification, and quantum computing.
Our work has led to six ETH spin-offs:
NetFabric (AI for systems),
LogicStar (AI code agents),
LatticeFlow (robust ML),
InvariantLabs (secure AI agents; acquired),
DeepCode (AI for code; acquired),
and ChainSecurity (security verification; acquired).
To learn more about our work see our Research page, recent Publications, and GitHub
releases. To stay up to date follow our group on Twitter.
