  • Patent number: 11961287
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for explaining an image classifier, the method comprising: receiving an initial image, the initial image having been wrongly classified by the image classifier; receiving an initial gradient of a function executed by the image classifier generated while classifying the initial image, the function being indicative of a probability for the initial image to belong to an initial class; converting the initial image into a latent vector, the latent vector being a representation of the initial image in a latent space; generating a plurality of perturbation vectors using the initial gradient of the function executed by the image classifier; combining the latent vector with each one of the plurality of perturbation vectors, thereby obtaining a plurality of modified vectors; for each one of the plurality of modified vectors, reconstructing a respective image, thereby obtaining a plurality of reconstructed images; transmitting the reconstructed images to the image classifier; for each one o

  • Patent number: 6616545
    Abstract: A putter including a shaft having first and second ends, the first, lower end pivotally engaging a “T” configured putter head via a spring biased, rotatable hosel, the upper end of the putter having first and second grips pivotally adjustable into a wishbone or other spaced configuration. The configuration of the present system allows each hand to independently engage a separate, spaced grip with the hands engaged with the thumbs gripping the upper portion of each respective handle, as desired by the user. The club is configurable into multiple positions, with the grips and putter head pivotally adjustable so as to allow side putting with the putter head to the side of the user, center putting with the user facing the target croquet style and the putter drawn back between the legs of the user, or pendulum style.
