Publication number: 20250055762Abstract: The invention proposes systems and methods for testing on-device machine learning models such as network models of a device based on an access to normal input and output channels, wherein a structure of a model is designed through training such that the model produces distinctive outputs to a given set of test inputs only so long as its internal structure remains in a desired state. Models may be rendered susceptible to such testing via model pre-training with training inputs designed to train the model into an appropriate structure and/or to cause the model to produce a distinctive output if later presented with a certain set of test inputs. If the structure of the model remains within allowable limits, the device will produce a predictable output when tested. If not, the device may be enforced to return to a pre-trained model.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Nicholas Simon Walker, Timothy Beard, Harm Cronie, Oscar Garcia Morchon, Walter Dees, Harry Michael Cronin

Patent number: 11831366Abstract: Using a transformation based at least in part on a non-simple orthogonal or unitary matrix, data may be transmitted over a data bus in a manner that is resilient to one or more types of signal noise, that does not require a common reference at the transmission and acquisition points, and/or that has a pin-efficiency that is greater than 50% and may approach that of single-ended signaling. Such transformations may be implemented in hardware in an efficient manner. Hybrid transformers that apply such transformations to selected subsets of signals to be transmitted may be used to adapt to various signal set sizes and/or transmission environment properties including noise and physical space requirements of given transmission environments.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2023Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNEInventors: Harm Cronie, Amin Shokrollahi

Publication number: 20230120397Abstract: Systems and methods are proposed for training and employing a machine learning algorithm for identifying uncertain Digital Twin model parameters. Such proposals may make use of a set of DTs that is chosen such that it comprises DTs that have achieved a target/predetermined morbidity scenario. The training may then identify uncertain model parameters for the set of DTs. Using the identified uncertain model parameters, the set of DTs may then be run so as to assess whether the target morbidity scenario is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Harm Cronie, Lieke Gertruda Elisabeth Cox, Murtaza Bulut, Valentina Lavezzo, Cornelis Petrus Hendriks
