  • Patent number: 11620568
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for selection of machine learning algorithms based on performance predictions by using hyperparameter predictors. In an embodiment, for each mini-machine learning model (MML model), a respective hyperparameter predictor set that predicts a respective set of hyperparameter settings for a data set is trained. Each MML model represents a respective reference machine learning model (RML model). Data set samples are generated from the data set. Meta-feature sets are generated, each meta-feature set describing a respective data set sample. A respective target set of hyperparameter settings are generated for said each MML model using a hypertuning algorithm. The meta-feature sets and the respective target set of hyperparameter settings are used to train the respective hyperparameter predictor set. Each hyperparameter predictor set is used during training and inference to improve the accuracy of automatically selecting a RML model per data set.

  • Patent number: 11615286
    Abstract: A computing system and a compressing method for neural network parameters are provided. In the method, multiple neural network parameters are obtained. The neural network parameters are used for a neural network algorithm. Every at least two neural network parameters are grouped into an encoding combination. The number of neural network parameters in each encoding combination is the same. The encoding combinations are compressed with the same compression target bit number. Each encoding combination is compressed independently. The compression target bit number is not larger than a bit number of each encoding combination. Thereby, the storage space can be saved and excessive power consumption for accessing the parameters can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 11615331
    Abstract: Examples of artificial intelligence-based reasoning explanation are described. In an example implementation, a knowledge model having a plurality of ontologies and a plurality of inferencing rules is generated. Once the knowledge model is generated, based on a real-world problem, a knowledge model from amongst various knowledge models is selected to be used for resolving a real-world problem. The data procured from the real-world problem is clustered and classified into an ontology of the determined knowledge model. Inferencing rules to be used for deconstructing the real-world problem are identified, and a machine reasoning is generated to provide a hypothesis for the problem and an explanation to accompany the hypothesis.

  • Patent number: 11593552
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating fillable digital forms corresponding to paper forms using a form conversion neural network to determine low-level and high-level semantic characteristics of the paper forms. For example, one or more embodiments applies a digitized paper form to an encoder that outputs feature maps to a reconstruction decoder, a low-level semantic decoder, and one or more high-level semantic decoders. The reconstruction decoder generates a reconstructed layout of the digitized paper form. The low-level and high-level semantic decoders determine low-level and high-level semantic characteristics of each pixel of the digitized paper form, which provide a probability of the element type to which the pixel belongs. The semantic decoders then classify each pixel and generate corresponding semantic segmentation maps based on those probabilities. The system then generates a fillable digital form using the reconstructed layout and the semantic segmentation maps.

  • Patent number: 11586743
    Abstract: A first system creates and sends encryption key data to multiple data sources. A second system receives data encrypted using the encryption key data from the multiple data sources; the data may include noise data such that, even if decrypted, the original data cannot be discovered. Because the encryption is additively homomorphic, the second system may create encrypted summation data using the encrypted data. The first system separately receives the noise data encrypted using the same technique as the encrypted data. The second system may send the encrypted summation data to the first system, which may then remove the noise data from the encrypted summation data to create unencrypted summation data.

  • Patent number: 11586953
    Abstract: Systems and methods of selecting machine learning models/algorithms for a candidate dataset are disclosed. A computer system may access historical data of a set of algorithms applied to a set of benchmark datasets; select a first algorithm of the set of algorithms; apply the first algorithm to an input dataset to create a model of the input dataset; evaluate and store results of the applying; and add the first algorithm to a set of tried algorithms. The computer system may select a next algorithm of the algorithm set via submodular optimization based on the historical data and the set of tried algorithms; apply the next algorithm to the input dataset; capture a next result based on the applying; add the next result to update the set of tried algorithms; and repeat the submodular optimization. The procedure may continue until a termination condition is reached.

Each of the depth-wise jobs includes at least a part of the computing operations. When an early-stop event for a first layer among the layers is generated while the plurality of depth-wise jobs are executed, a subset computing operations included in at least one second layer are performed and a remainder of the computing operations are stopped. The at least one second layer is arranged prior to the first layer.

  • Patent number: 11586902
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for training a machine-trained (MT) network that processes input data using network parameters. The method maps input instances to output values by propagating the instances through the network. The input instances include instances for each of multiple categories. For a particular instance selected as an anchor instance, the method identifies each instance in a different category as a negative instance. The method calculates, for each negative instance of the anchor, a surprise function that probabilistically measures a surprise of finding an output value for an instance in the same category as the anchor that is a greater distance from the output value for the anchor instance than output value for the negative instance. The method calculates a loss function that emphasizes a maximum surprise calculated for the anchor. The method trains the network parameters using the calculated loss function value to minimize the maximum surprise.

  • Patent number: 11580447
    Abstract: An online system, such as a social networking system, generates shared models for one or more clusters of categories. A shared model for a cluster is common to the categories assigned to the cluster. In this manner, the shared models are specific to the group of categories (e.g., selected content providers) in each cluster while requiring a reasonable computational complexity for the online system. The categories are clustered based on the performance of a model specific to a category on data for other categories.

  • Patent number: 11580427
    Abstract: A system receives application data to be used in requests made on behalf of an applicant to a selection of evaluator devices. The system includes a predictive model which predicts actual eligibility criteria for acceptance of a request by the evaluator devices, and is trained with a library of application data including previously evaluated requests and outcomes to the previously evaluated requests. The system compiles the application data into separate requests by synchronizing the application data and identifying a common core of data required by each selected evaluator device and compiling the common core of data along with particular requirements of individual evaluator devices. An applicant can thereby complete a multi-request application which generates requests to a plurality of evaluator devices and which avoids duplication of data storage and data transmission, and reduces effort required by the applicant. Implementations include students making applications for admission to academic institutions.
