  • Publication number: 20230316041
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for modifying deep learning models (such as neural networks) to run more efficiently in computing environments with limited floating point computation resources. A deep learning model is trained using a set of training data. Input and output values are then recorded from the layers of the trained model when supplied with the training data, which are then used to generate deep forest decision tree models corresponding to individual layers of the trained model. Experimental versions of the trained model are then generated with different layers of the trained model replaced with their corresponding deep forest decision tree models. These experimental versions are then ranked according to the accuracy of their results compared to the results of the trained model. An updated trained model is then generated with one or more layers replaced with their corresponding deep forest decision tree models.

    Abstract: An embodiment includes parsing geographical data into a path graph having a plurality of nodes and edges, and identifying first and second subsets of the nodes as source nodes and destination nodes, respectively. The embodiment generates path data for a candidate delivery route from a source node to a destination node and along an edge between the source and destination nodes. The embodiment processes the path data using first and second evaluation techniques based on respective metrics. The embodiment compares evaluation values from the evaluation techniques to evaluation values associated with another candidate delivery route, and selects the candidate delivery route as a finalized delivery route based on the comparison results. The embodiment then generates a route plan that includes the finalized delivery route.

  • Publication number: 20230237278
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for compressing data, and more particularly, to large-scale text data encoding and compression using absolute overfitting on pre-trained language models. Large-scale data is parsed into sentences. A unique token is generated for each sentence to form a token list. A generative (or compression) model is trained from the tokens in the token list to produce the corresponding sentence of each token through absolute overfitting of a pre-trained language model. The compressed text data is stored as the token list and generative model, resulting in a storage space savings.

  • Patent number: 11675978
    Abstract: An approach is provided for improving a named entity recognition. Using a multi-label classification in a neural network, a sub-entity is identified in an original sentence. First and second labels are determined indicating first and second candidate types of the sub-entity. First and second replacement sentences are generated. The first replacement sentence replaces the sub-entity in the original sentence with a first sub-entity of the first candidate type. The second replacement sentence replaces the sub-entity in the original sentence with a second sub-entity of the second candidate type. First and second confidence scores for the first and second replacement sentences are determined. Based on the first confidence score exceeding the second confidence score by more than a threshold amount, the neural network is retrained by selecting the first instead of the second candidate type as the sub-entity type.

  • Patent number: 11676351
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating an augmented reality representation of a real-world environment. An augmented reality (AR) system receives a captured digital image of the real-world environment and generates an initial estimate of a candidate point specifying an estimated location of an annotation point of a virtual object model within the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An accuracy of the initial estimate is calculated based on a function of characteristics of the annotation point and a function of characteristics of the candidate point and, in response to the evaluation of accuracy indicating that the initial estimate is not accurate, an annotation point location refinement operation is performed to generate a refined candidate point for aligning the annotation point with the captured digital image of the real-world environment. An AR representation of the real-world environment is generated based on the refined candidate point.

  • Publication number: 20230168093
    Abstract: In an approach for road section recognition using multi-modal cognitive mechanism, a processor receives an audio signal from a road test. A processor processes the audio signal to generate an acoustic spectrum density distribution map to identify a respective at least one road section switching point in a first mode. A processor processes a spectrogram of the audio signal to identify the respective at least one road section switching point in a second mode. A processor uses a machine learning model to predict an expected sound at each frame of the audio signal, to calculate a similarity between the expected sound and an actual sound, and to identify the respective at least one road switching point when the similarity is lower than a pre-set similarity threshold in a third mode. A processor combines results of the three modes to obtain a final set of road section switching points.
