  • Patent number: 12762412
    Abstract: One or more systems, methods and/or machine-readable mediums are described herein for adaptively quantizing the parameters that are aimed to be deployed on in-memory computing systems based on magnetic memory devices. The method includes quantizing parameters based on a conductance shift sensing process, a sensed conductance shift value, a conductance shift lookup table, and a parameter to be quantized. The parameter can be quantized by using a value recorded in the lookup table, such as rounding to the nearest value. The lookup table can be generated by the conductance shift sensing process which can enabling recording of a sensed conductance of a magnetic memory device and an associated device state. The conductance shift sensing process can set the magnetic memory device (MMD) to different states and can measure the conductance shift of the MMD, caused by the state setting, using suitable equipment.

  • Patent number: 12743061
    Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial intelligence assisted device configuration. In an implementation, an interface service of a device design application receives an input comprising an association between a device and a controller of an automation system design.

  • Patent number: 12737438
    Abstract: In various examples, robust trajectory predictions against adversarial attacks in autonomous machines and applications are described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that perform adversarial training for trajectory predictions determined using a neural network(s). In order to improve the training, the systems and methods may devise a deterministic attack that creates a deterministic gradient path within a probabilistic model to generate adversarial samples for training. Additionally, the systems and methods may introduce a hybrid objective that interleaves the adversarial training and learning from clean data to anchor the output from the neural network(s) on stable, clean data distribution. Furthermore, the systems and methods may use a domain-specific data augmentation technique that generates diverse, realistic, and dynamically-feasible samples for additional training of the neural network(s).
