  • Patent number: 11941493
    Abstract: A method optimizes a training of a machine learning system. A conflict detection system discovers a conflict between a first training data and a second training data for a machine learning system, where the first training data and the second training data are ground truths that describe a same type of entity, and where the first training data and the second training data have different labels. In response to discovering the conflict between the first training data and the second training data for the machine learning system, an oracle adjusts the different labels of the first training data and the second training data. The machine learning system is then trained using the first training data and the second training data with the adjusted labels.

  • Patent number: 11783174
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to splitting input data into smaller units for loading into a data buffer and neural engines in a neural processor circuit for performing neural network operations. The input data of a large size is split into slices and each slice is again split into tiles. The tile is uploaded from an external source to a data buffer inside the neural processor circuit but outside the neural engines. Each tile is again split into work units sized for storing in an input buffer circuit inside each neural engine. The input data stored in the data buffer and the input buffer circuit is reused by the neural engines to reduce re-fetching of input data. Operations of splitting the input data are performed at various components of the neural processor circuit under the management of rasterizers provided in these components.

  • Patent number: 11715029
    Abstract: Certain aspects involve updating data structures to indicate relationships between attribute trends and response variables used for training automated modeling systems. For example, a data structure stores data for training an automated modeling algorithm. The training data includes attribute values for multiple entities over a time period. A computing system generates, for each entity, at least one trend attribute that is a function of a respective time series of attribute values. The computing system modifies the data structure to include the generated trend attributes and updates the training data to include trend attribute values for the trend attributes. The computing system trains the automated modeling algorithm with the trend attribute values from the data structure. In some aspects, trend attributes are generated by applying a frequency transform to a time series of attribute values and selecting, as trend attributes, some of the coefficients generated by the frequency transform.
