  • Patent number: 11763159
    Abstract: A neural network is configured to suppress an output of a mitigation node in a mitigation layer of the neural network. The neural network is pre-configured to recognize objects from inputs when operating using a processor and a memory. An actual input is sent to the neural network for object recognition, the actual input is an altered input. By suppressing the output of the mitigation node, the neural network is caused to avoid falsely recognizing an object from the actual input, where the altered input is configured to cause the neural network to falsely recognize the object from the actual input.

  • Patent number: 11518255
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that manipulate operations of specified target systems, such as by modifying or otherwise manipulating inputs or other control elements of the target system that affect its operation (e.g., affect output of the target system). An automated control system may in some situations have a distributed architecture with multiple decision modules that each controls a portion of a target system and operate in a partially decoupled manner with respect to each other, such as by each decision module operating to synchronize its local solutions and proposed control actions with those of one or more other decision modules, in order to determine a consensus with those other decision modules. Such inter-module synchronizations may occur repeatedly to determine one or more control actions for each decision module at a particular time, as well as to be repeated over multiple times for ongoing control.
