DNN watermarking is receiving an increasing attention as a suitable mean to protect the Intellectual Property Rights associated to DNN models. Several methods proposed so far are inspired to the popular Spread Spectrum (SS) paradigm according to which the watermark bits are embedded into the projection of the weights of the DNN model onto a pseudorandom sequence. In this paper, we propose a new DNN watermarking algorithm that leverages on the watermarking with side information paradigm to decrease the obtrusiveness of the watermark and increase its payload. In particular, the new scheme exploits the main ideas of ST-DM (Spread Transform Dither Modulation) watermarking to improve the performance of a recently proposed algorithm based on conventional SS. The experiments we carried out by applying the proposed scheme to watermark different models, demonstrate its capability to provide a higher payload with a lower impact on network accuracy than a baseline method based on conventional SS, while retaining a satisfactory level of robustness.
Protecting the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) associated to Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) is a pressing need pushed by the high costs required to train such networks and the importance that DNNs are gaining in our society. Following its use for Mul
In order to protect the intellectual property (IP) of deep neural networks (DNNs), many existing DNN watermarking techniques either embed watermarks directly into the DNN parameters or insert backdoor watermarks by fine-tuning the DNN parameters, whi
The state of the art performance of deep learning models comes at a high cost for companies and institutions, due to the tedious data collection and the heavy processing requirements. Recently, [35, 22] proposed to watermark convolutional neural netw
The rise of machine learning as a service and model sharing platforms has raised the need of traitor-tracing the models and proof of authorship. Watermarking technique is the main component of existing methods for protecting copyright of models. In t
Watermarking of deep neural networks (DNN) can enable their tracing once released by a data owner. In this paper, we generalize white-box watermarking algorithms for DNNs, where the data owner needs white-box access to the model to extract the waterm
