  • Patent number: 11972408
    Abstract: A method may include embedding, in a hidden layer and/or an output layer of a first machine learning model, a first digital watermark. The first digital watermark may correspond to input samples altering the low probabilistic regions of an activation map associated with the hidden layer of the first machine learning model. Alternatively, the first digital watermark may correspond to input samples rarely encountered by the first machine learning model. The first digital watermark may be embedded in the first machine learning model by at least training, based on training data including the input samples, the first machine learning model. A second machine learning model may be determined to be a duplicate of the first machine learning model based on a comparison of the first digital watermark embedded in the first machine learning model and a second digital watermark extracted from the second machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11972333
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to improve performance. Managing the generative AI model includes using a second generative AI model to generate outputs from similar inputs and comparing the outputs of the generative AI models to determine their similarity. The second generative AI model is trained using fresher training data but may not be manually supervised and adjusted to the level of the generative AI model being managed. As such, an output of the second generative AI model is compared to an output of the managed generative AI model by a classification model to determine a relevance of the output from the managed generative AI model. An output of the classification model is used to perform various suitable policies to optimize the performance of the managed generative AI model, such as providing alternate outputs, preventing providing the output, or retraining the model.

  • Patent number: 11853860
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques are described herein for training and using neural networks to encode inputs and to process encoded inputs, e.g., to reconstruct inputs from the encoded inputs. A neural network system can include an encoder neural network, a trusted decoder neural network, and an adversary decoder neural network. The encoder neural network processes a primary neural network input and a key input to generate an encoded representation of the primary neural network input. The trusted decoder neural network processes the encoded representation and the key input to generate a first estimated reconstruction of the primary neural network input. The adversary decoder neural network processes the encoded representation without the key input to generate a second estimated reconstruction of the primary neural network input. The encoder and trusted decoder neural networks can be trained jointly, and these networks trained adversarially to the adversary decoder neural network.

  • Patent number: 11829886
    Abstract: Simulating uncertainty in an artificial neural network is provided. Aleatoric uncertainty is simulated to measure what the artificial neural network does not understand from sensor data received from an object operating in a real-world environment by adding random values to edge weights between nodes in the artificial neural network during backpropagation of output data of the artificial neural network and measuring impact on the output data by the added random values to the edge weights between the nodes. Epistemic uncertainty is simulated to measure what the artificial neural network does not know by dropping out a selected node from each respective layer of the artificial neural network during forward propagation of the sensor data and measuring impact of dropped out nodes on the output data of the artificial neural network. An action corresponding to the object is performed based on the impact of simulating the aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.
