US Patent 10360069 Automated transfer of neural network definitions among federated areas

An apparatus includes a processor to: perform a testing job flow at least partly within a testing federated area to test a neural network defined by configuration data specifying hyperparameters and trained parameters thereof; and perform a transfer flow to transfer an object indicative of results of the testing from the testing federated area to another federated area, wherein: in response to the degree of accuracy falling below a predetermined minimum threshold, the processor is caused to transfer a specification of the degree of accuracy or a portion of inaccurate output to a training federated area in which the neural network was at least partly trained; and in response to the degree of accuracy exceeding a predetermined maximum threshold, the processor is caused to transfer a copy of the neural network configuration data to a usage federated area in which the neural network is to be made available for use.
