  • Patent number: 11727254
    Abstract: Techniques in advanced deep learning provide improvements in one or more of accuracy, performance, and energy efficiency. An array of processing elements performs flow based computations on wavelets of data. Each processing element has a compute element and a routing element. Each compute element has memory. Each router enables communication via wavelets with nearest neighbors in a 2D mesh. A compute element receives a wavelet. If a control specifier of the wavelet is a first value, then instructions are read from the memory of the compute element in accordance with an index specifier of the wavelet. If the control specifier is a second value, then instructions are read from the memory of the compute element in accordance with a virtual channel specifier of the wavelet. Then the compute element initiates execution of the instructions.

  • Patent number: 11669735
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating recurrent neural networks for log anomaly detection uses a controller recurrent neural network that generates an output set of hyperparameters when an input set of controller parameters is applied to the controller recurrent neural network. The output set of hyperparameters is applied to a target recurrent neural network to produce a child recurrent neural network with an architecture that is defined by the output set of hyperparameters. The child recurrent neural network is then trained, and a log classification accuracy of the child recurrent neural network is computed. Using the log classification accuracy, at least one of the controller parameters used to generate the child recurrent neural network is adjusted to produce a different input set of controller parameters to be applied to the controller recurrent neural network so that a different child recurrent neural network for log anomaly detection can be generated.
