Patents by Inventor Stephen Joseph MERITY

Stephen Joseph MERITY has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11580359
    Abstract: The technology disclosed provides a so-called “pointer sentinel mixture architecture” for neural network sequence models that has the ability to either reproduce a token from a recent context or produce a token from a predefined vocabulary. In one implementation, a pointer sentinel-LSTM architecture achieves state of the art language modeling performance of 70.9 perplexity on the Penn Treebank dataset, while using far fewer parameters than a standard softmax LSTM.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11080595
    Abstract: The technology disclosed provides a quasi-recurrent neural network (QRNN) encoder-decoder model that alternates convolutional layers, which apply in parallel across timesteps, and minimalist recurrent pooling layers that apply in parallel across feature dimensions.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180336453
    Abstract: A system automatically generates recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures for performing specific tasks, for example, machine translation. The system represents RNN architectures using a domain specific language (DSL). The system generates candidate RNN architectures. The system predicts performances of the generated candidate RNN architectures, for example, using a neural network. The system filters the candidate RNN architectures based on their predicted performance. The system generates code for selected a candidate architectures. The generated code represents an RNN that is configured to perform the specific task. The system executes the generated code, for example, to evaluate an RNN or to use the RNN in an application.
