Publication number: 20240171885Abstract: By analyzing first configuration data of a set of sensors, a first configuration of the set of sensors is measured. A set of permutations of the first configuration is generated. For each permutation in the set of permutations, a corresponding set of virtual sensor data is generated. Using an analysis on each set of virtual sensor data and a set of real sensor data obtained using the first configuration, a corresponding analysis result is caused to be determined. Using the quality measure, a configuration producing a highest quality analysis result is determined. A contextual situation and the configuration are stored as a sensor configuration rule. By analyzing second configuration data of the set of sensors, a second configuration of the set of sensors is measured. The second configuration is adjusted according to the configuration specified in the sensor configuration rule.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aaron K.

Patent number: 11829886Abstract: Simulating uncertainty in an artificial neural network is provided. Aleatoric uncertainty is simulated to measure what the artificial neural network does not understand from sensor data received from an object operating in a real-world environment by adding random values to edge weights between nodes in the artificial neural network during backpropagation of output data of the artificial neural network and measuring impact on the output data by the added random values to the edge weights between the nodes. Epistemic uncertainty is simulated to measure what the artificial neural network does not know by dropping out a selected node from each respective layer of the artificial neural network during forward propagation of the sensor data and measuring impact of dropped out nodes on the output data of the artificial neural network. An action corresponding to the object is performed based on the impact of simulating the aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aaron K Baughman, Stephen C.
