DeepMarks: A Digital Fingerprinting Framework for Deep Neural Networks
This paper proposes DeepMarks, a novel end-to-end framework for systematic
fingerprinting in the context of Deep Learning (DL). Remarkable progress has
been made in the area of deep learning. Sharing the trained DL models has
become a trend that is ubiquitous in various fields ranging from biomedical
diagnosis to stock prediction. As the availability and popularity of
pre-trained models are increasing, it is critical to protect the Intellectual
Property (IP) of the model owner. DeepMarks introduces the first fingerprinting
methodology that enables the model owner to embed unique fingerprints within
the parameters (weights) of her model and later identify undesired usages of
her distributed models. The proposed framework embeds the fingerprints in the
Probability Density Function (pdf) of trainable weights by leveraging the extra
capacity available in contemporary DL models. DeepMarks is robust against
fingerprints collusion as well as network transformation attacks, including
model compression and model fine-tuning. Extensive proof-of-concept evaluations
on MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets, as well as a wide variety of deep neural
networks architectures such as Wide Residual Networks (WRNs) and Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs), corroborate the effectiveness and robustness of
DeepMarks framework
Wearable Fall Detector Using Recurrent Neural Networks
Falls have become a relevant public health issue due to their high prevalence and negative
effects in elderly people. Wearable fall detector devices allow the implementation of continuous
and ubiquitous monitoring systems. The effectiveness for analyzing temporal signals with low
energy consumption is one of the most relevant characteristics of these devices. Recurrent neural
networks (RNNs) have demonstrated a great accuracy in some problems that require analyzing
sequential inputs. However, getting appropriate response times in low power microcontrollers
remains a difficult task due to their limited hardware resources. This work shows a feasibility study
about using RNN-based deep learning models to detect both falls and falls’ risks in real time using
accelerometer signals. The effectiveness of four different architectures was analyzed using the SisFall
dataset at different frequencies. The resulting models were integrated into two different embedded
systems to analyze the execution times and changes in the model effectiveness. Finally, a study of
power consumption was carried out. A sensitivity of 88.2% and a specificity of 96.4% was obtained.
The simplest models reached inference times lower than 34 ms, which implies the capability to
detect fall events in real-time with high energy efficiency. This suggests that RNN models provide
an effective method that can be implemented in low power microcontrollers for the creation of
autonomous wearable fall detection systems in real-time
