IEEE 3304-2023

The Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW) Technical Specification provides standard methods to measure the ability of 1) a watermark inserter to inject a payload without deteriorating the neural network (NN) performance, 2) a watermark detector to recognize the presence and the watermark decoder to successfully retrieve the payload of the inserted watermark, and 3) a watermark inserter to inject a payload and the watermark detector/decoder to detect/decode a payload from a watermarked model or from any of its inferences at a measured computational cost.



New IEEE Standard - Active. This is an adoption of the Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI)--Technical Specification Neural Network Watermarking as an IEEE Standard.
