Abstract
A method for alleviating data poisoning in an edge computing resource includes receiving a numeric value from an Internet of Things (IoT) unit and associating the numeric value with a cluster selected from a plurality of clusters in accordance with a suitable clustering algorithm such as a k-means clustering algorithm. In at least some embodiments, the numeric value comprises a poisoned numeric value including an adversarial component injected by an adversary to negatively impact a trained model of a cloud-based artificial intelligence engine. Rather than permitting the injected adversarial component to corrupt the AI engine, a cluster with which the numeric value is associated is sampled in accordance with a probability distribution of the cluster to obtain a surrogate for the poisoned numeric value. The surrogate may then be provided as an input to an inference module of the AI engine to generate a prediction.
