Machine learning model validation and authentication

This invention describes a system to control who can use a machine learning model and how. It uses a special digital key, like a password, that gets fed directly into the model's input. This key acts as a switch, enabling or disabling specific parts of the model's internal workings, ensuring it only functions correctly for authorized users. The claims narrow this to a specific method where the key directly controls internal 'gate nodes' within the model's input layers, effectively turning parts of the model on or off.

Why it matters: Filed before the explosion of highly valuable, proprietary machine learning models. The claims address the critical need for protecting these assets and controlling their licensed use, which has become a much larger concern with the rise of model-as-a-service offerings and the high value of trained models today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, machine learning model modification
