  • Publication number: 20180342084
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for coloring line drawing is disclosed for: acquiring line drawing data; performing reduction processing on the line drawing data to be a predetermined reduced size to obtain reduced line drawing data; coloring the reduced line drawing data based on a first learned model which is learned in advance using sample data; and coloring original line drawing data with the colored reduced data and the original line drawing data as inputs based on a second learned model which is learned in advance.

  • Publication number: 20180253665
    Abstract: A machine learning heterogeneous edge device, method, and system are disclosed. In an example embodiment, an edge device includes a communication module, a data collection device, a memory, a machine learning module, a group determination module, and a leader election module. The edge device analyzes collected data with a model, outputs a result, and updates the model to create a local model. The edge device communicates with other edge devices in a heterogeneous group. The edge device determines group membership and determines a leader edge device. The edge device receives a request for the local model, transmits the local model to the leader edge device, receives a mixed model created by the leader edge device performing a mix operation of the local model and a different local model, and replaces the local model with the mixed model.

  • Patent number: 5953329
    Abstract: A switching system and a method for performing high-speed switching within a telecommunications system. One aspect of the present invention utilizes an internal host and a self learning routing algorithm to reduce the time required to identify an output channel for routing a communication. Thus, the overhead associated with querying an external database can be eliminated from the switching system allowing a switching system to reduce the call hold time, and thereby meet the call flow demands of the telecommunications system. Another aspect of the present invention is the use of a hashing algorithm in resolving routing decisions. The hashing algorithm operates on received DID numbers to identify an output channel for a received call. The hashing algorithm is able to accept any DID number as input. Therefore, this aspect of the present invention allows a switching system to quickly resolve routing decisions without requiring consecutive DID numbers.
