  • Patent number: 12288154
    Abstract: Adaptive verifiable training enables the creation of machine learning models robust with respect to multiple robustness criteria. In general, such training exploits inherent inter-class similarities within input data and enforces multiple robustness criteria based on this information. In particular, the approach exploits pairwise class similarity and improves the performance of a robust model by relaxing robustness constraints for similar classes and increasing robustness constraints for dissimilar classes. Between similar classes, looser robustness criteria (i.e., smaller ?) are enforced so as to minimize possible overlap when estimating the robustness region during verification. Between dissimilar classes, stricter robustness regions (i.e., larger ?) are enforced. If pairwise class relationships are not available initially, preferably they are generated by receiving a pre-trained classifier and then applying a clustering algorithm (e.g., agglomerative clustering) to generate them.

  • Publication number: 20250021566
    Abstract: A database system is operable to determine power usage policy data and generate operation requirement data based on the power usage policy data. A database operation is determined for execution, and an energy utilization-based operation limitation enforcement function is performed upon energy utilization-based operation restriction enforcement input data to generate energy utilization-based operation restriction enforcement data for the database operation based on applying the operation requirement data. The database operation is executed when the energy utilization-based operation restriction enforcement data indicates execution of the operation is allowed based on execution of the database operation adhering to the operation requirement data. Execution of database operation is foregone when the energy utilization-based operation restriction enforcement data indicates execution of the operation is disallowed based on execution of the database operation not adhering to the operation requirement data.
