  • Publication number: 20220383115
    Abstract: Today, artificial neural networks are trained on large sets of manually tagged images. Generally, for better training, the training data should be as large as possible. Unfortunately, manually tagging images is time consuming and susceptible to error, making it difficult to produce the large sets of tagged data used to train artificial neural networks. To address this problem, the inventors have developed a smart tagging utility that uses a feature extraction unit and a fast-learning classifier to learn tags and tag images automatically, reducing the time to tag large sets of data. The feature extraction unit and fast-learning classifiers can be implemented as artificial neural networks that associate a label with features extracted from an image and tag similar features from the image or other images with the same label. Moreover, the smart tagging system can learn from user adjustment to its proposed tagging. This reduces tagging time and errors.

  • Patent number: 11070623
    Abstract: The system and methods disclosed herein include a runtime architecture that takes a nonspecific set of systems of differential equations, distributes them across the network, and iteratively integrates them through time with a possibility to output the results on every iteration. Embodiments of the disclosed system may be used for neural computation or any other suitable application. Embodiments can be used as a standalone engine or as part of another computational system for massively parallel numerical integration of a data-driven dynamical system.

  • Publication number: 20210216865
    Abstract: An artificial neural network (ANN) that learns at the Edge (e.g., on a smart phone) can be faster and use less network bandwidth than an ANN trained on a server and distributed to the Edge. Learning at the compute edge can be accomplished by executing Lifelong Deep Neural Network (L-DNN) technology at the compute edge. L-DNN technology uses a representation-rich, DNN-based subsystem with a fast-learning subsystem to learn new features quickly without forgetting previously learned features. Compared to a conventional DNN, L-DNN uses much less data to build robust networks, has dramatically shorter training time, and learns on-device instead of on servers without re-training or storing data. An edge device with L-DNN can learn continuously after deployment, eliminating costs in data collection and annotation, memory, and compute power. This fast, local, on-device learning can be used in unsupervised mode to make personal assistants more intelligent and enhance frequently used apps.
