Abstract: A phase-shifter for a light-transmitting waveguide is segmented into multiple segments that can be calibrated to the overall length of a conventional single phase-shifter. Each segment receives a control signal, which can be a single bit signal, with the phase-shift capability of the segmented phase-shifter controlled by which segment(s) receive(s) a control signal. In one implementation, a binary weighting is applied to determine segment lengths. Smaller segments can be increased in length to achieve a 2? offset of the phase shift produced by the segment while maintaining the same binary relationship among segments. In another embodiment, multiple segments of uniform lengths can be used for a single phase-shifter with each segment controlled by an n-bit signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training a machine learnable function, such as an image classifier or image feature extractor. When applying such machine learnable functions in autonomous driving and similar application areas, generalizability may be important. To improve generalizability, the machine learnable function is rewarded for responding predictably at a layer of the machine learnable function to a set of differences between input observations. This is done by means of a regularization objective included in the objective function used to train the machine learnable function. The regularization objective rewards a mutual statistical dependence between representations of input observations at the given layer, given a difference label indicating a difference between the input observations.
