  • Patent number: 11934932
    Abstract: Examples herein propose operating redundant ML models which have been trained using a boosting technique that considers hardware faults. The embodiments herein describe performing an evaluation process where the performance of a first ML model is measured in the presence of a hardware fault. The errors introduced by the hardware fault can then be used to train a second ML model. In one embodiment, a second evaluation process is performed where the combined performance of both the first and second trained ML models is measured in the presence of a hardware fault. The resulting errors can then be used when training a third ML model. In this manner, the three trained ML models are trained to be error aware. As a result, during operation, if a hardware fault occurs, the three ML models have better performance relative to three ML models that where not trained to be error aware.

  • Patent number: 11911702
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) parameter configuration method for a racing AI model performed by an AI parameter configuration device is provided. A first parameter set including m sets of AI parameters is obtained. Each of the m sets of AI parameters is used by the racing AI model to travel on a track. The racing AI model is controlled to undergo an adaptation degree test according to each of the m sets of AI parameters to obtain m adaptation degrees. The m adaptation degrees are positively correlated with travel distances of the racing AI model on the track according to the m sets of AI parameters. A second parameter set is generated according to the first parameter set in a case that all the m adaptation degrees are less than an adaptation degree threshold. In a case that a target adaptation degree in the m adaptation degrees is greater than the adaptation degree threshold, an AI parameter corresponding to the target adaptation degree is configured as a target AI parameter.

  • Patent number: 11887012
    Abstract: A computing device identifies an anomaly among a plurality of observation vectors. An observation vector is projected using a predefined orthogonal complement matrix. The predefined orthogonal complement matrix is determined from a decomposition of a low-rank matrix. The low-rank matrix is computed using a robust principal component analysis algorithm. The projected observation vector is multiplied by a predefined demixing matrix to define a demixed observation vector. The predefined demixing matrix is computed using an independent component analysis algorithm and the predefined orthogonal complement matrix. A detection statistic value is computed from the defined, demixed observation vector. When the computed detection statistic value is greater than or equal to a predefined anomaly threshold value, an indicator is output that the observation vector is an anomaly.
