Controllable neural networks or other controllable machine learning models

Abstract

A method includes obtaining (such as accessing, receiving, acquiring, etc.), using at least one processor of an electronic device, a machine learning model trained to process input data and generate output data over at least one range of values associated with one or more control variables. The method also includes providing, using the at least one processor, specified input data to the machine learning model and providing, using the at least one processor, one or more specified values of the one or more control variables to the machine learning model. The one or more specified values of the one or more control variables are within the at least one range of values. The method further includes performing inferencing using the machine learning model to process the specified input data and generate specified output data. The inferencing is controlled based on the one or more specified values of the control variable(s).
