  • Publication number: 20240106836
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains input features for a neural network-based model. The device pre-defines a set of neurons of the model to represent known behaviors associated with the input features. The device constrains weights for a plurality of outputs of the model. The device trains the neural network-based model using the constrained weights for the plurality of outputs of the model and by excluding the pre-defined set of neurons from updates during the training.

  • Publication number: 20080273770
    Abstract: For each minutia in the fingerprint, a set of surrounding “neighborhood” minutiae is identified. In each neighborhood, each minutiae pair of central and neighboring minutiae is described by several features including (but not limited to) the spacing between the two minutiae in a pair, the difference of orientations of two minutiae and the angle between the orientation of the central minutia and a line connecting the two minutiae. From these minutiae pair features, a minutiae pair index is constructed. The minutiae pair indices of enrolled fingerprints are compared to those of a proffered fingerprint. Identification of match can be by way of sufficient matching indices, sufficient matching neighborhoods identified from matching indices, and can be verified by a detailed comparison of corresponding minutiae pairs.
