  • Publication number: 20220261650
    Abstract: An end-to-end low-precision training system based on a multi-base logarithmic number system and a multiplicative weight update algorithm. The multi-base logarithmic number system is applied to update weights of the neural network, with different bases of the multi-base logarithmic number system utilized between calculation of weight updates, calculation of feed-forward signals, and calculation of feedback signals. The LNS expresses a high dynamic range and computational energy efficiency, making it advantageous for on-board training in energy-constrained edge devices.

  • Publication number: 20220036179
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method for performing a task includes generating a first posterior distribution of a global latent context variable for the task based on a pool of contexts sampled from one or more previous episodes of the task. The method also includes generating a second posterior distribution of a local latent context variable for a current time step in a current episode of the task based on one or more recent contexts sampled at one or more previous time steps of the current episode. The method further includes causing an agent to perform an action related to carrying out the task based on the first posterior distribution, the second posterior distribution, and a current state associated with the current time step.

  • Publication number: 20210389769
    Abstract: Techniques to generate driving scenarios for autonomous vehicles characterize a path in a driving scenario according to metrics such as narrowness and effort. Nodes of the path are assigned a time for action to avoid collision from the node. The generated scenarios may be simulated in a computer.
