  • Patent number: 12718101
    Abstract: A machine learning model compression system and related techniques are described herein. The machine learning model compression system can intelligently remove certain parameters of a machine learning model, without introducing a loss in performance of the machine learning model. Various parameters of a machine learning model can be removed during compression of the machine learning model, such as one or more channels of a single-branch or multi-branch neural network, one or more branches of a multi-branch neural network, certain weights of a channel of a single-branch or multi-branch neural network, and/or other parameters. In some cases, compression is performed only on certain selected layers or branches of the machine learning model. Candidate filters from the selected layers or branches can be removed from the machine learning model in a way that preserves local features of the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 12711404
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe optimizing a netlist using machine learning (ML) models that predict which of a plurality of optimization strategies (e.g., a plurality of optimization algorithms) will provide the best results. The netlist can then be optimized using the optimization strategy. Doing so provides significant time and compute resources savings since the netlist can be optimized only once using the selected optimization strategy rather than having to be optimized using each of the plurality of optimization strategies. Moreover, the embodiments herein can permit the addition of more optimization strategies, which could not be considered earlier because of runtime constraints.

  • Patent number: 12705511
    Abstract: A taxonomy classification system assigns taxonomy labels to content items of an online system. To assign the taxonomy labels, the taxonomy classification system applies one or more taxonomy model to the content items to determine scores or probabilities that a particular label applies to the content item. Each taxonomy model includes multiple sub-models. Each sub-model corresponds to a different type of information for the content item. For example, a first sub-model corresponds to a description of the content item, a second sub-model corresponds to metrics of the content item in one or more content item publishers, a third sub-model corresponds to similar content items to the content item being evaluated. The taxonomy classification system combines the output from every sub-model to determine a label score for one or more labels in a label class and a taxonomy label from the label class is selected based on the determined label score.

  • Patent number: 12694343
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that relate to routing requests to large language models (LLMs) are disclosed. In one example aspect, the system receives session-specific data elements in response to a request to generate an output using LLMs. The system determines a hierarchy of operational constraints including privacy protocols and performance requirements. Weights for a multi-variable optimization are dynamically updated using the session-specific data elements. The system executes the multi-variable optimization across candidate LLMs that satisfy privacy constraints and optimize performance constraints. Based on the optimization, at least one candidate LLM is selected and the request is routed to it. In response to performance feedback, the system automatically selects a different LLM to improve one constraint, resulting in degradation of another constraint.

  • Patent number: 12675677
    Abstract: This disclosure addresses deficiencies in existing methods for analyzing spikes in time-series data, particularly when dealing with vast document repositories. A method includes receiving a user specification of objects of interest, and by subsequently identifying spikes of mentions of these objects in the documents. The method includes retrieving metric data and context data related to mentions of objects of interest in relevant documents from a repository, both from spikes and other time intervals. By analyzing these documents, it is possible to pinpoint the key factors driving the spikes. Finally, use of an LLM provides capabilities to generate comprehensive explanations. This is achieved by submitting one or more prompts to LLM(s), where the prompts incorporate the specification of the objects of interest (or a reformulation thereof), the identified driving factors and a number of representative documents connected to the key driving factors.

  • Patent number: 12632715
    Abstract: Analog to digital conversion errors caused by non-linearities or other sources of distortion in an analog-to-digital converter are compensated for by use of a machine learning system, such as a neural network. The machine learning system is trained based on simulation or measurement data, which may utilize a reference ADC or a digital training signal representing a reference ADC that has less distortion errors than the analog-to-digital converter. The effect on the analog to digital conversion errors by Process-Voltage-Temperature parameters may be incorporated into the training of the machine learning system.
