ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 13 -- United States Patent no. 12,524,553, issued on Jan. 13, was assigned to HiddenLayer Inc. (Austin, Texas).

"Detection of vulnerabilities in computational graphs" was invented by Thomas Bonner (Steeple Claydon, Great Britain) and Kasimir Ralph Peter Schulz (Raleigh, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Vulnerabilities in a machine learning model can be identified by receiving at least one file encapsulating the machine learning model. A computational graph corresponding to the machine learning model is then extracted from the at least on file. The computational graph is converted from a first format into a normalized computational graph having a second, different form...
