Samsung patents AI system that switches to backup code when data is unfamiliar
Samsung describes an electronic device that uses a small AI model to check if incoming data is unusual or outside its expected range. If the data looks normal, a main AI model processes it; if it looks strange, the device falls back to a standard, non-AI algorithm to ensure reliable results.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device includes a memory storing a first Artificial Intelligence (AI) model and a second AI model, the first AI model being trained to determine whether training input data is Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) data, the second AI model being trained to perform a first inference operation based on the training input data, and processing circuitry configured to determine whether first input data is the OOD data by using the first AI model, generate a first inference result by performing the first inference operation using one of the second AI model or a legacy algorithm based on whether the first input data is the OOD data, and perform a control operation based on the first inference result.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: a memory storing a first Artificial Intelligence (AI) model and a second AI model, the first AI model being trained to determine whether training input data is Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) data, the second AI model being trained to perform a first inference operation based on the training input data; and processing circuitry configured to, determine whether first input data is the OOD data by using the first AI model, generate a first inference result by performing the first inference operation using one of the second AI model or a legacy algorithm based on whether the first input data is the OOD data, and perform a control operation based on the first inference result.
