Abstract: This application relates to the artificial intelligence field, and discloses a neural network search method and a related apparatus. The neural network search method includes: constructing attention heads in transformer layers by sampling a plurality of candidate operators during model search, to construct a plurality of candidate neural networks, and comparing performance of the plurality of candidate neural networks to select a target neural network with higher performance. In this application, a transformer model is constructed with reference to model search, so that a new attention structure with better performance than an original self-attention mechanism can be generated, and effect in a wide range of downstream tasks is significantly improved.

Abstract: This application relates to the field of artificial intelligence, and provides a model training method. The method includes: obtaining a to-be-trained first neural network model, where the first neural network model includes a first operator, and the first operator is used to perform a product operation on input data and a target weight matrix; replacing the first operator in the first neural network model with a second operator, to obtain a second neural network model, where the second operator is used to perform a product operation on input data and a plurality of sub-weight matrices, and the plurality of sub-weight matrices are obtained by performing matrix factorization on the target weight matrix; and performing model training on the second neural network model to obtain a target neural network model.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for inspecting a light transmissible optical component. The apparatus comprises an image capturing module arranged on a first side of a support configured to hold a light transmissible optical component whilst it is being inspected. The apparatus includes an illumination device configured to shape light from a light source and to illuminate a selected portion of a surface of said light transmissible optical component with said shaped light to enable the image capturing module to capture any of a bright field image, a dark field image, or a combined bright field and dark field image of the light transmissible optical component being held by the support.
