  • Patent number: 11886604
    Abstract: The technology described herein obfuscates image content using a local neural network and a remote neural network. The local network runs on a local computer system and a remote classifier runs in a remote computing system. Together, the local network and the remote classifier are able to classify images, while the image never leaves the local computer system. In aspects of the technology, the local network receives a local image and creates a transformed object. The transformed object may be generated by processing the image with a local neural network to generate a multidimensional array and then randomly shuffling data locations within a multidimensional array. The transformed object is communicated to the remote classifier in the remote computing system for classification. The remote classifier may not have the seed used to deterministically scramble the spatial arrangement of data within the multidimensional array.

  • Publication number: 20190279011
    Abstract: The technology described herein anonymizes images using a bifurcated neural network. The bifurcated neural network can comprise two portions with a local portion running on a local computer system and a remote portion running in a data center that is connected to the local computer system by a computer network. Together, the local portion and the remote portion form a complete neural network able to classify images, while the image never leaves the local computer system. In aspects of the technology, the local portion of the neural network receives a local image and creates a transformed object. The transformed object is communicated to the remote portion of the bifurcated neural network in the data center for classification.

  • Patent number: 7401019
    Abstract: A method of searching audio data is provided including receiving a query defining multiple phonetic possibilities. The method also includes comparing the query with a lattice of phonetic hypotheses associated with the audio data to identify if at least one of the multiple phonetic possibilities is approximated by at least one phonetic hypothesis in the lattice of phonetic hypotheses.
