Patent number: 12265905Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a circuit that executes a neural network including multiple nodes. The method loads a set of weight values for a node into a set of weight value buffers, a first set of bits of each input value of a set of input values for the node into a first set of input value buffers, and a second set of bits of each of the input values into a second set of input value buffers. The method computes a first dot product of the weight values and the first set of bits of each input value and a second dot product of the weight values and the second set of bits of each input value. The method shifts the second dot product by a particular number of bits and adds the first dot product with the bit-shifted second dot product to compute a dot product for the node.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jung Ko, Kenneth Duong, Steven L.

Patent number: 12266355Abstract: Techniques for using a shared encoder and multiple different decoders for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks are described. The individual decoders are configured to perform different tasks using the output from one shared encoder. The decoders can process with respect to different domains and different languages. Using the shared encoder can reduce computation time during runtime. Using the shared encoder can reduce training costs (e.g., time and resources) when the system is updated to incorporate additional intents and entities. The system employs an attention mechanism to extract encoded representation data that can be used by the different decoders for its specific task.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Jakob Hueser, Fabian Triefenbach, Chandana Satya Prakash, Jin Cao, Wael Hamza, Mariusz Momotko

Patent number: 12265756Abstract: Methods and devices for sampling applications using a touch input are described herein. In some embodiments, an electronic device detects a touch input, which may cause the electronic device to send identifiers to a backend system. The backend system may then determine an application and sample audio request associated with the received identifiers. The backend system may then receive text data representing the sample audio request and text data representing a response to the sample audio request. The backend system may generate audio data representing the received text data and send the audio data to the electronic device. If, the touch input is still occurring, the backend system may find and send more sample audio requests and the responses thereof. If the touch input stops occurring during the sample, the backend system may send instructions to the electronic device to stop outputting the sample.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andy Kim, John Botros

Patent number: 12261966Abstract: An automated server-based scheme allows a hosted service such as an individual computer system, computer application, or network service, to infer root certificate authorities present in client trust stores. Presenting a random selection of one or more digital certificates to a given client seeking a favorite icon URL, in response to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection request from the client, allows the service operator's trained machine learning system to define a customized set of potentially-trusted root certificate authorities based on learned successes and failures of connections with the given client, as well as other parties. The hosted service operator may employ a certificate manager and/or client-specific rules for presenting the certificates.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Marcel Andrew Levy

Patent number: 12262204Abstract: Techniques for establishing a data connection are described. In an example, a computer system receives, from a second device of a computer network, first data associated with a first device and second data associated with the second device. The first device is not connected to the computer network. The computer system determines third data generated by one or more devices other than the first device and the second device and associated with at least one of: the first device, the second device, a user account, or the computer network. The computer system generates, based on the first data, the second data, and the third data, a confidence score indicating a likelihood of a user authorization to connect the first device to the computer network. The computer system sends, to the second device based on the confidence score, instructions associated with connecting the first device to the computer network.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Quentin N Robinson, Abraham Martin Passaglia, Rashmesh Radhakrishnan, Andrew Roths
