  • Publication number: 20210035019
    Abstract: A method for AI training at an end device placed in an end-user premises, the method comprising: receiving by a processor of the end device sensor data captured by a sensor bundle of the end device; deciding if the sensor data included a data unit that requires external feedback, and in case external feedback is required obtaining external feedback about classification of the data unit; updating a decision module controlled by the processor of the end device based on the obtained feedback; and making a decision about the received sensor data, by the decision module. The external feedback is obtained from an end user or from another device. The method includes obtaining instructions about the type of decision to make, from a user or by pre-configuration. External feedback about the decision is obtained and the decision module is updated based on the feedback.
