Abstract: Tabular data is accessed that contains multiple entries of alphanumeric data. Multiple tokens are generated of the multiple entries of alphanumeric data using a tokenization process. The tokenization process maintains jargon-specific features of the alphanumeric data. Multiple embeddings of the multiple entries of alphanumeric data are generated using the tokens. The embeddings capture similarity of the multiple entries considering all of global features, column features, and row features in the tokens of the tabular data. A neural network is used to predict probabilities for pre-defined classes for the tabular data using the generated embeddings.

Abstract: The invention is notably directed to a method of programming memory elements of an in-memory computing (IMC) device. The IMC applies a SET signal to the K memory elements of said each cell to set each of the K memory elements to a SET state and reading K conductance values of the K memory elements in the SET state. The IMC adjusts, based on the K conductance values read and the target conductance value, a conductance value of at least one of the K memory elements to match a summed conductance of the K memory elements of said each cell with the target conductance value. The IMC maximizes a number of the K memory elements that are either in their SET state or in a RESET state of zero conductance nominal value, such that at most one of the K memory elements is neither in a SET state nor in a RESET state.
