  • Publication number: 20210287101
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for inducing creativity in an artificial neural network (ANN) having an encoder and decoder. Neurons are automatically selected and manipulated from one or more layers of the encoder. An encoded vector is sampled for an encoded image. Decoder neurons and a corresponding activation pattern are evaluated with respect to the encoded image. The decoder neurons that correspond to the activation pattern are selected, and an activation setting of the selected decoder neurons is changed. One or more novel data instances are automatically generated from an original latent space of the selectively changed decoder neurons.

  • Patent number: 10986087
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a user is presented. Responsive to a request for access to a computer resource, a computer system prompts the user making the request to access the computer resource to perform a new motion in an environment in which the user is monitored by a sensor system. Detected biometric data in the new motion performed by the user is identified by the computer system. A determination is made as to whether the user performing the new motion is an authenticated user based on comparing the detected biometric data with stored biometric data for a prior motion performed by the authenticated user. The computer system provides access to the computer resource when the user is identified as the authenticated user.
