  • Patent number: 11055608
    Abstract: A convolutional neural network is provided comprising artificial neurons arranged in layers, each comprising output matrices. An output matrix comprises output neurons and is connected to an input matrix, comprising input neurons, by synapses associated with a convolution matrix comprising weight coefficients associated with the output neurons of an output matrix. Each synapse consists of a set of memristive devices storing a weight coefficient of the convolution matrix. In response to a change of the output value of an input neuron, the neural network dynamically associates each set of memristive devices with an output neuron connected to the input neuron. The neural network comprises accumulator(s) for each output neuron; to accumulate the values of the weight coefficients stored in the sets of memristive devices dynamically associated with the output neuron, the output value of the output neuron being determined from the value accumulated in the accumulator(s).

  • Patent number: 10963783
    Abstract: Technologies for optimization of machine learning training include a computing device to train a machine learning network with a training algorithm that is configured with configuration parameters. The computing device may perform many training instances in parallel. The computing device captures a time series of partial accuracy values from the training. Each partial accuracy value is indicative of machine learning network accuracy at an associated training iteration. The computing device inputs the configuration parameters to a feed-forward neural network to generate a representation and inputs the representation to a recurrent neural network. The computing device trains the feed-forward neural network and the recurrent neural network against the partial accuracy values. The computing device optimizes the feed-forward neural network and the recurrent neural network to determine optimized configuration parameters.

  • Patent number: 10908591
    Abstract: A machine learning device acquires from a numerical controller information relating to machining when the machining is performed, and further acquires an actual delay time due to servo control and due to machine movement which are caused in the machining when the machining is performed. Then, the device performs supervised learning using the acquired machining-related information as input data, and using the acquired actual delay time due to servo control and due to machine movement as supervised data, and constructs a learning model, thereby predicting the machine delay time caused in a machine with high precision.
