  • Patent number: 12769997
    Abstract: A method of optimizing an iterative process defines a set of trainable parameters and a differentiable gating function to be applied to each parameter in the set of trainable parameters. A trainable model of the iterative process is built, wherein the iterative process is modified by using the value of the differentiable gating function applied to the parameters to compute a weighted sum of internal variables of the iterative process before and after each iteration. A machine learning-based optimization of the trainable model of the iterative process determines a subset of iterations of the iterative process to perform. The subset of iterations is determined such that an accuracy and a number of active iterations of the iterative process are jointly optimized. The method processes only the subset of the iterations to perform the iterative process. The method is applied to optimize the layered belief propagation algorithm for LDPC decoding.

  • Patent number: 12675771
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to an online system for allowing interactions between online users. The system continuously tracks each user's interactions with different types and categories of content as well as with other users. Based partially on each user's tracked interactions, a probability based model of preferences, interests, and needs is created for each user. The probability based model is then used to predict a user's compatibility with other users and to recommend content. Based on predicted compatibilities, communities and groups of users are recommended to each user. To account for changing user profiles, each user's profile is periodically assessed against the profiles of other users for compatibility. Similarities in interests, preferences, and needs between users, as well as peer rankings, are taken into account when assessing compatibility between users and user groups and communities.

  • Patent number: 12657494
    Abstract: A quantum computation unit, a classical computation unit, and a management unit are provided to learn distribution of a quantum dataset. A structure of a generator is determined from multiple samples of latent variables and values of quantum circuit parameters. A ground cost and a gradient of the ground cost are calculated from the generator and the quantum dataset. An optimal transport loss and a gradient of the optimal transport loss are calculated using the ground cost and the gradient of the ground cost. An updating process is executed that updates the quantum circuit parameter using the gradient of the optimum transport loss, thereby reducing the optimum transport loss. The updating process is repeated until the optimum transport loss converges.

  • Patent number: 12626126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an improved machine learning-based recommender system and method for cold-start predictions on an ecommerce platform. The improved system predicts user-item interactions with respect to cold-start items in which only side information is available. Item representations generated by an item neural network encoder from item side information are shared with a user neural network. The item representations are used, along with user feedback history, to generate user representations. Specifically, a weight matrix in the first layer of the user neural network encoder is fixed with the shared item embeddings. The effect of this is that, when the user neural network encoder is applied to an input user-item interaction vector, the output of the first layer of the user neural network encoder is a function of the item representations of the items for which the user provided positive feedback.
