Abstract: An encoding apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises an input unit operable to obtain a plurality of training images, said training images being for use in training a machine learning model. The apparatus also comprises a label unit operable to obtain a class label associated with the training images; and a key unit operable to obtain a secret key for use in encoding the training images. The apparatus further comprises an image noise generator operable to generate, based on the obtained secret key, noise for introducing into the training images. The image noise generator is configured to generate noise that correlates with the class label associated with the training images such that a machine learning model subsequently trained with the modified training images learns to associate the introduced noise with the class label for those images. A corresponding decoding apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A method of determining identifiers for tagging frames of animation with is provided. The method comprises obtaining data indicating motion of an animated object in a plurality of frames and detecting the object as performing a pre-determined motion in at least some of the plurality of frames. For a given frame, it is determined based on the detected pre-determined motion, whether to associate an identifier with the pre-determined motion, the identifier indicating an event that is to be triggered in response to the pre-determined motion. The frames of the animation comprising the detected pre-determined motion are tagged, in response to a determination of an identifier. The pre-determined motion and corresponding identifier are determined by inputting the obtained data to machine learning model. A corresponding system is also provided.
