  • Patent number: 12705474
    Abstract: Power efficient performance may be implemented in a hardware accelerator (e.g., a neural processor) comprising hybrid or analog multiply and accumulate (MAC) processing elements (PEs). For example, power consumption may be reduced in neural networks with a rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation layer. A hybrid or analog MAC circuit may be configured with a look-ahead sign detector to dynamically stop computations prior to completion, for example, based on detection of a negative value, which a ReLU activation layer may (e.g., subsequently) convert to zero. The sign of a value may be indicated by a most significant bit (MSB). A controller may provide power and/or clock cycles to an analog to digital converter (ADC) to determine a sign of a value being computed. The sign may be used to selectively complete computations for positive values and selectively terminate computations for negative values, thereby reducing power consumption of the MAC circuit.

  • Patent number: 12554795
    Abstract: Class imbalance in a training dataset may negatively impact the accuracy of a machine-learning model in classifying rare events that are underrepresented in the training dataset. Training datasets comprising time-series data present a unique challenge. Accordingly, resampling techniques for up-sampling and/or down-sampling a training dataset of time series are disclosed. The up-sampling may respect the temporal correlation of time samples in the time series, while generating synthetic time series that mimic the feature values of time series belonging to the minority class. Down-sampling may be used to fine-tune the ratio of time series belonging to the minority class to the time series belonging to the majority class.

  • Patent number: 12530630
    Abstract: Hierarchical gradient averaging is performed as part of training a machine learning model to enforce subject level privacy. A sample of data items from a training data set is identified and respective gradients for the data items are determined. The gradients are then clipped. Each subject's clipped gradients in the sample are averaged. A noise value is added to a sum of the averaged gradients of each of the subjects in the sample. An average gradient for the entire sample is determined from the averaged gradients of the individual subjects with the added noise value. This average gradient for the entire sample is used for determining machine learning model updates.
