  • Patent number: 12783952
    Abstract: An extended two tower network is used to make both a recommendation of a content item that a given user may be interested in, and a recommendation of a user that may be interested in a given content item. The extended two tower network includes a content item sub-tower, a user sub-tower, and a fusion sub-model that are jointly trained to predict a probability that a given user is interested in a given content item. The content item sub-tower and the user sub-tower are used to make an initial prediction that the given user will be interested in the given content item. The initial prediction is then input to the fusion sub-model to make a final prediction. In the case of a candidate invitee recommendation, the initial prediction may be combined with one or more interaction features and the combination input to the fusion sub-model to make the final prediction.

  • Patent number: 12770066
    Abstract: Techniques relate to detecting and reducing bias in regression-based machine learning models. A baseline model is trained using a regression algorithm and a baseline training data set comprising examples with independent parameters and corresponding continuous dependent values. A classification algorithm is executed on the training data set to determine, for at least a portion of examples, a probability distribution of class assignment across a set of classes. Class-aware machine learning models are trained using examples in accordance with their probability of belonging to respective classes. For each example, outputs from the baseline and class-aware models are combined according to class assignment to determine an expected class-aware output. A difference between the expected class-aware output and the baseline model output is evaluated.

  • Patent number: 12705463
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for training parameters of a network. The method receives an MT network having multiple layers of computation nodes that use first sets of weight values. Each computation node of a first layer computes an output value by computing an intermediate value based on a set of input values and a set of weight values and computing a node output value by applying an activation function to the intermediate value. The method replaces the first layer with a second layer of computation nodes followed by a third layer of computation nodes. The replacement involves (i) decomposing the sets of weight values of the first layer into second sets of weight values for the second layer and third sets of weight values for the third layer and (ii) inserting into the network a set of additional activation functions for the second layer.

Operation of the first inductor loop can be controlled by a flux-tunable TCQ coupler, wherein flux-tuning can adjust operation from an OFF state (no coupling between the first qubit and the second qubit) to an ON state (the first qubit and second qubit are coupled). The spiral resonator can be located at the center of, and in the same plane as the loop of the first inductor loop. The spiral resonator can enhance inductive coupling between the first loop inductor and the second loop inductor.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method in a model-based reinforcement learning (RL) system with logic states includes switching an agent between a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a probabilistic planning mode and the second mode being an information gathering mode. In response to the agent being in the probabilistic planning mode, the agent computes a predictive state representation, given a history of observations and actions taken, and the agent scores action candidates based on planning with the predictive state representation so that actions with resolved plans with confidence to achieve a goal state are scored higher than actions without resolved plans. In response to the agent being in the information gathering mode, the agent scores action candidates based on a Q function of a value of expected information to be gathered from a given pair of state and action.
