Publication number: 20230237332Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, by a neural network (NN), a dataset for generating features from the dataset. A first set of features is computed from the dataset using at least a feature layer of the NN. The first set of features i) is characterized by a measure of informativeness; and ii) is computed such that a size of the first set of features is compressible into a second set of features that is smaller in size than the first set of features and that has a same measure of informativeness as the measure of informativeness of the first set of features. The second set of features if generated from the first set of features using a compression method that compresses the first set of features to generate the second set of features.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Abhinav Shrivastava, Saurabh Singh, Johannes Ballé, Sami Ahmad Abu-El-Haija, Nicholas Milo Johnston, George Dan Toderici

Patent number: 11574232Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods that learn a compressed representation of a machine-learned model (e.g., neural network) via representation of the model parameters within a reparameterization space during training of the model. In particular, the present disclosure describes an end-to-end model weight compression approach that employs a latent-variable data compression method. The model parameters (e.g., weights and biases) are represented in a “latent” or “reparameterization” space, amounting to a reparameterization. In some implementations, this space can be equipped with a learned probability model, which is used first to impose an entropy penalty on the parameter representation during training, and second to compress the representation using arithmetic coding after training. The proposed approach can thus maximize accuracy and model compressibility jointly, in an end-to-end fashion, with the rate-error trade-off specified by a hyperparameter.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Deniz Oktay, Saurabh Singh, Johannes Balle, Abhinav Shrivastava

Publication number: 20220253832Abstract: The SNAP MOBILE PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“SNAP”) transform real-time-generated merchant-product Quick Response codes via SNAP components into virtual wallet card-based transaction purchase notifications. In one embodiment, the SNAP obtains a snapshot of a QR code presented on a display screen of a point-of-sale device from a mobile device. The SNAP decodes the QR code to obtain product information included in a checkout request of the user, and merchant information for processing a user purchase transaction with a merchant providing the QR code. The SNAP accesses a user virtual wallet to obtain user account information to process the user purchase transaction with the merchant. Using the product information, merchant information and user account information, the SNAP generates a card authorization request, and which the SNAP provides to a payment network for transaction processing. Also, the SNAP obtains a purchase receipt confirming processing of the user purchase transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Ayman Hammad, Igor Karpenko, Miroslav Gavrilov, Abhinav Shrivastava, Mark Carlson, Prakash Hariramani

Patent number: 10761826Abstract: A service provider system may include an application fulfillment platform that delivers desktop applications on demand to desktops on physical computing devices or virtual desktop instances of end users. An application delivery agent installed on an end user's computing resource instance may store application state data (e.g., configuration data, runtime settings, or application templates) or scratch data that is generated by an application executing on the computing resource instance to a secure location on service provider storage resources. After a machine failure or change, or a rebuilding of a virtualized computing resource instance or virtual desktop instance, an application delivery agent installed on the new machine or instance may reinstall the application, retrieve the stored application state or scratch data from service provider resources, and restore the application to the last known persisted state.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sheshadri Supreeth Koushik, Yang Lin, Jaimin Paresh Shah, Abhinav Shrivastava, Vikram Vijay Sahijwani, David Pessis

Patent number: 10367802Abstract: A service provider system may include an application fulfillment platform that delivers desktop applications to desktops on physical computing devices or virtual desktop instances. A computing resource instance may be registered with the platform, which generates a unique identifier and a security token for the computing resource instance using multiple authentication mechanisms. An end user of a customer organization may be registered with the platform, which generates a unique identifier and a security token for the end user using multiple authentication mechanisms. An application delivery agent may submit service requests to the platform on behalf of itself or the given user. The identity and security credentials included in the requests may be dependent on the request type and the entities on whose behalf they are submitted. A proxy service on the platform may receive the requests and validate the credentials, then dispatch the requests to other services on the platform.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sheshadri Supreeth Koushik, Jaimin Paresh Shah, Yang Lin, Abhinav Shrivastava, Vikram Vijay Sahijwani, Hao Peng, David Pessis
