  • Publication number: 20220198332
    Abstract: A system and associated methods for decentralized attribution of GAN models is disclosed. Given a group of models derived from the same dataset and published by different users, attributability is achieved when a public verification service associated with each model (a linear classifier) returns positive only for outputs of that model. Each model is parameterized by keys distributed by a registry. The keys are computed from first-order sufficient conditions for decentralized attribution. The keys are orthogonal or opposite to each other and belong to a subspace dependent on the data distribution and the architecture of the generative model.

  • Publication number: 20220049447
    Abstract: The traditional limit equilibrium slice method does not consider the distribution of the interslice normal force when analyzing the slope stability. That is, the present invention takes into consideration the distribution of the acting positions of the thrust line, and thus provides a slope stability limit equilibrium calculation method based on the distribution characteristics of the interslice normal force. For the deep concave slip surface, it is found that the improved limit equilibrium method and the traditional limit equilibrium method have a large error in the safety factor, which is as high as about 20%. The method of the present invention has the characteristics of simplicity and reliability, and will provide more accurate results for slope stability analysis.
