  • Patent number: 11080975
    Abstract: Various techniques for theft proofing autonomous driving vehicles (ADV) for transporting goods are described. In one embodiment, sensor data of a moving object representing a person within a predetermined proximity of an ADV are captured for real-time analysis by a theft detection module, to determine a moving behavior of the moving object based on the sensor data in view of a set of known moving behaviors. The theft detection module further determines whether an intention of the person is likely to remove at least some of the goods from the ADV using a process derived from historical image set, and sends an alarm to a predetermined destination in response to determining such an intention of the person. Other sensor data, for example, real time movements and weights of the ADV, can be used in conjunction with the process derived from historical image sets to determine the intention of the person.

  • Patent number: 11080279
    Abstract: An interface for users to gain access and manipulate unstructured data is provided. In response to receiving a user query associated with a first database format, a system can request unstructured data associated with a second database format from a second database. The unstructured data can include a set of data groups where each data group has a set of values. Each value can be associated with a different tag. To generate a structured database, some embodiments can determine the number of data groups and the number of unique tags across the data groups and populate the table with data from the unstructured data. Subsequently, the system can apply the user query to the table to obtain a query result and transmit the query result to the user device.

  • Patent number: 11080420
    Abstract: A record management system stores records for an organization having a plurality of members and a plurality of groups, and manages accessibility of the records for the organization according to a specified record access policy. The record management system generates an accessibility database that indicates, for each member, records that are explicitly or implicitly accessible by each member such that the records accessible for each member can be quickly determined if needed. A member has explicit access to a record if there is an explicit indication of accessibility between the member and the record. A member has implicit access to a record through membership associations to other members or groups that have access to the record. The record management system also receives search queries from members and returns records that are relevant and accessible to the members based on the accessibility database.

  • Publication number: 20210232890
    Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNN) model quantization may be used to reduce storage and computation burdens by decreasing the bit width. Presented herein are novel cursor-based adaptive quantization embodiments. In embodiments, a multiple bits quantization mechanism is formulated as a differentiable architecture search (DAS) process with a continuous cursor that represents a possible quantization bit. In embodiments, the cursor-based DAS adaptively searches for a quantization bit for each layer. The DAS process may be accelerated via an alternative approximate optimization process, which is designed for mixed quantization scheme of a DNN model. In embodiments, a new loss function is used in the search process to simultaneously optimize accuracy and parameter size of the model. In a quantization step, the closest two integers to the cursor may be adopted as the bits to quantize the DNN together to reduce the quantization noise and avoid the local convergence problem.
