  • Patent number: 12104987
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated MIMO force-response characterization of a structure-under-test. The structure-under-test is coupled to a plurality of exciter devices and a plurality of response sensors. An excitation signal is automatically and iteratively applied to each exciter device while sensor data is collected from each response sensor to collect response data for a plurality of different exciter-sensor combinations (i.e., response data collected by a single response sensor while the excitation signal is applied to a single exciter device). A signal quality test is applied to the collected sensor data and, in response to determining that the collected response data for a particular exciter-sensor combination is of insufficient quality, the data collection for that exciter-sensor combination is automatically repeated. The excitation signal can be automatically adjusted before repeating the data collection to improve the quality of the collected data for the exciter-sensor combination.

  • Patent number: 12100197
    Abstract: A method for training a machine learning system. The method includes generating an augmented dataset including input images for training the machine learning system, which is for classification and/or semantic segmentation of input images, using a first machine learning system, which is embodied as a decoder of an autoencoder, and a second machine learning system, which is embodied as an encoder of the autoencoder. Latent variables are ascertained from the input images using the encoder. The input images are classified as a function of ascertained feature characteristics of their image data. An augmented input image of the augmented dataset is ascertained from at least one of the input images as a function of average values of the ascertained latent variables in at least two of the classes. The image classes are selected so that the input images classified therein agree in their characteristics in a predefinable set of other features.

  • Patent number: 12100198
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of interacting with a physical environment according to a policy. The policy determines multiple action probabilities of respective actions based on an observable state of the physical environment. The policy includes a neural network parameterized by a set of parameters. The neural network determines the action probabilities by determining a final layer input from an observable state and applying a final layer of the neural network to the final layer input. The final layer is applied by applying a linear combination of a set of equivariant base weight matrices to the final layer input. The base weight matrices are equivariant in the sense that, for a set of multiple predefined transformations of the final layer input, each transformation causes a corresponding predefined action permutation of the base weight matrix output for the final layer input.
