  • Patent number: 11334671
    Abstract: One or more hardened machine learning models are secured against adversarial attacks by adding adversarial protection to one or more previously trained machine learning models. To generate the hardened machine learning models, the previously trained machine learning models are retrained and extended using preprocessing layers or using additional network layers which test model performance on benign or adversarial samples. A rollback strategy is additionally implemented to retain intermediate model states during the retraining to provide recovery if a training collapse is detected.

  • Publication number: 20220100969
    Abstract: In an approach for discourse-level text optimization, a processor receives an initial text in a first language. A processor applies one or more operators to modify the initial text. A processor evaluates the modified text using a scoring function. A processor determines whether a score generated from the scoring function on the modified text is above a predefined threshold. In response to determining the score is above the predefined threshold, a processor outputs the modified text.

  • Patent number: 11023725
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a map identifying the size and location of anomalous crop health patterns of a geographic area. Predictive crop health forecasting based historical crop health images generates expected crop health images. Statistical parametric mapping is used to model differences in the expected crop health images and current crop health images to generate a statistical parametric map. Regions of anomalous crop health based on the modeled differences are identified in the statistical parametric map. The number of the identified anomalous crop health regions and the size of each of the identified anomalous crop health regions are determined. The statistical significance of the size and number of the anomalous crop health regions relative to the expected crop health is quantified. A map of anomalous crop health patterns delineates the anomalous crop health regions and the statistical significance of the size and number of anomalous crop health regions.
