What MPAI-NNW is about

Description of MPAI-NNW

Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW) is an MPAI project developing Technical Reports and Specifications on the application of Watermarking and other content management technologies to Neural Networks. Technical Specification: Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW) V1.0 provides the means to establish a standard setting to measure the performance of a Watermarked Neural Network.

What MPAI-NNW is about

Technical Specification: Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW) V1.0  provides the means to measure, for a given size of the watermarking payload, the ability of the watermark:

  1. Inserter to inject a payload without deteriorating the NN performance.
  2. Detector to recognise the presence and decoder to successfully retrieve the payload of the inserted watermark.
  3. Inserter to inject a payload and detector/decoder to detect/decode a payload from a watermarked model or from any of its inferences at a measured computational cost.
