An artificial neural network (ANN) that learns at the Edge (e.g., on a smart phone) can be faster and use less network bandwidth than an ANN trained on a server and distributed to the Edge. Learning at the compute edge can be accomplished by executing Lifelong Deep Neural Network (L-DNN) technology at the compute edge. L-DNN technology uses a representation-rich, DNN-based subsystem with a fast-learning subsystem to learn new features quickly without forgetting previously learned features. Compared to a conventional DNN, L-DNN uses much less data to build robust networks, has dramatically shorter training time, and learns on-device instead of on servers without re-training or storing data. An edge device with L-DNN can learn continuously after deployment, eliminating costs in data collection and annotation, memory, and compute power. This fast, local, on-device learning can be used in unsupervised mode to make personal assistants more intelligent and enhance frequently used apps.

Adaptive verifiable training enables the creation of machine learning models robust with respect to multiple robustness criteria. In general, such training exploits inherent inter-class similarities within input data and enforces multiple robustness criteria based on this information. In particular, the approach exploits pairwise class similarity and improves the performance of a robust model by relaxing robustness constraints for similar classes and increasing robustness constraints for dissimilar classes. Between similar classes, looser robustness criteria (i.e., smaller ∈) are enforced so as to minimize possible overlap when estimating the robustness region during verification. Between dissimilar classes, stricter robustness regions (i.e., larger ∈) are enforced. If pairwise class relationships are not available initially, preferably they are generated by receiving a pre-trained classifier and then applying a clustering algorithm (e.g., agglomerative clustering) to generate them. Once pre-defined or computed pairwise relationships are available, several grouping methods are provided to create classifiers for multiple robustness criteria.
