  • Patent number: 11481649
    Abstract: A system for adapting a base classifier to one or more novel classes. The base classifier classifies an instance into a base class by extracting a feature representation from the instance using a feature extractor and matching it to class representations of the base classes. The base classifier is adapted using training data for the novel classes. Class representations of the novel classes are determined based on feature representations of instances of the novel classes. The class representations of the novel and base classes are then adapted, wherein at least one class representation of a novel class is adapted based on a class representation of a base class and at least one class representation of a base class is adapted based on a class representation of a novel class. The adapted class representations of the base and novel classes are associated with the base classifier.

  • Patent number: 11481681
    Abstract: A system for training a classification model to be robust against perturbations of multiple perturbation types. A perturbation type defines a set of allowed perturbations. The classification model is trained by, in an outer iteration, selecting a set of training instances of a training dataset; selecting, among perturbations allowed by the multiple perturbation types, one or more perturbations for perturbing the selected training instances to maximize a loss function; and updating the set of parameters of the classification model to decrease the loss for the perturbed instances. A perturbation is determined by, in an inner iteration, determining updated perturbations allowed by respective perturbation types of the multiple perturbation types and selecting an updated perturbation that most increases the loss of the classification model.
