  • Patent number: 12094607
    Abstract: The disclosed technology enables, among other things, the identification of persons and the characterization of mental perceptions (e.g., pain, fatigue, mood) and/or intent (e.g., to perform an action) for medical, safety, home care, and other purposes. Of significance are applications that require long-term patient monitoring, such as tracking disease progression (e.g., multiple sclerosis), or monitoring treatment or rehabilitation efficacy. Therefore, longitudinal data must be acquired over time for the person's identity and other characteristics (e.g., pain level, usage of a cane). However, conventional methods of person identification (e.g., photography) acquire unnecessary personal information, resulting in privacy concerns. The disclosed technology allows measurements to be performed while protecting privacy and functions with partial or incomplete measurements, making it robust to real-world (noisy, uncontrolled) settings, such as in a person's home (whether living alone or with others).

  • Patent number: 12093793
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for testing a data removal from a trained machine learning model trained with a training data set are provided. A new machine learning model is trained by using an altered data set that includes training data from the training data set. The altered data set is without removal data. A first forgetting mechanism is applied to the trained machine learning model to form a first revised machine learning model. The applying includes removing the removal data from the trained machine learning model. A first membership leakage quantification on the first revised machine learning model is performed to quantify a first membership leakage of the removal data and that uses the new machine learning model for comparison. A first leakage score is determined from the first membership leakage quantification to test the forgetting mechanism.
