METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING A MACHINE LEARNING OUTPUT

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for obtaining a detection and/or a prediction about a state of a physical system is provided. The method comprises: retrieving an artificial neural network that processes a plurality of input values to provide one or more network output values; converting the artificial neural network into one or more mathematical functions, wherein each mathematical function maps the plurality of input values to a function value that coincides with one of the one or more network output values; applying at least one patch to at least one of the one or more mathematical functions, wherein the at least one patch comprises at least one mathematical expression that affects the function value of the at least one patched mathematical function; retrieving a plurality of state input values related to the physical system; computing one or more state function values by feeding the plurality of state input values to the one or more mathematical functions including the at least one patched mathematical function; obtaining the detection and/or prediction from the one or more state function values.
