Rouhani, Bita Darvish, Chen, Huili, Koushanfar, Farinaz

Understand

Deep Learning (DL) models have caused a paradigm shift in our ability to comprehend raw data in various important fields, ranging from intelligence warfare and healthcare to autonomous transportation and automated manufacturing.

  • A practical concern, in the rush to adopt DL models as a service, is protecting the models against Intellectual Property (IP) infringement.
  • The DL models are commonly built by allocating significant computational resources that process vast amounts of proprietary training data.
  • The resulting models are therefore considered to be the IP of the model builder and need to be protected to preserve the owner's competitive advantage.
