  • Patent number: 12783873
    Abstract: A receiver receives, from a transmitter, a reference neural network. The receiver trains the reference neural network to obtain updated neural network parameters for the reference neural network. The receiver reports to the transmitter in response to a trigger, a difference between the updated neural network parameters and previous neural network parameters for the reference neural network. The trigger may be based on a loss function, a magnitude of the difference between the updated neural network parameters and the previous neural network parameters, and/or a difference between performance of the reference neural network with the updated neural network parameters and performance of the reference neural network with the previous neural network parameters.

  • Patent number: 12769989
    Abstract: A method of fault criticality assessment using neural twins includes converting a netlist into a neural twin by replacing each circuit element of the netlist with a neural-network-readable cell equivalent; and replacing each wire with a neural connection. Bias value adders are inserted at locations in the neural twin; and these bias value adders are used to apply a bias that represents a perturbation in the signal propagated by that connection. For each perturbed bias at a corresponding site selected to be perturbed, a loss value is calculated for the neural twin; and the site is classified, using a neural-twin-trained classifier, as critical or benign based on that loss value.

  • Patent number: 12743640
    Abstract: The acceptance means 81 accepts input of a series of observed events. The deletion means 82 deletes, in a decision graph for determining a boolean value of the observed event based on a knowledge base in which the observed event is a node and transition relationship of each of the observed events is an edge, the edge indicating a transition to a negation side of the observed event from among the edges connected to the node corresponding to the accepted observed event. The determination means 83 determines whether or not a path from a root node to a true-valued leaf node exists in the decision graph after the deletion of the edge. The decision means 84 decides that the series of observed events is inconsistent with respect to the knowledge base when being determined that there is no path to the leaf node indicating the true value.
