US Patent 10002029 Automated transfer of neural network definitions among federated areas

An apparatus includes a processor to: receive, from a first remote device, a request to perform iterations of a training job flow to generate a neural network at least partly within a first federated area, wherein access to the first federated area is granted to the first remote device and not a second remote device, access to a second federated area is granted to the second remote device and not the first remote device, and a transfer area is maintained to transfer a neural network data set between the first and second federated areas; perform the at least some iterations; and analyze an output object generated in each iteration to determine whether a condition has been met to transfer a copy of the neural network data set from the first federated area to the transfer area to enable its transfer to the second federated area to test the neural network.
