  • Patent number: 12585980
    Abstract: Conventionally, applying analytics on dataset is the scarcity of labelled data. With increase of data there is cost fact effecting nature of servicing required for data (e.g., cost in terms of resource and time and effort is high for data annotation). Though data is analysed, it may be prone to error. Present disclosure provides systems/methods for reducing volume of data to be annotated for time series data thereby reducing time and effort of resources, thus resulting in effective utilization of system's resources (e.g., memory, processor, etc.). More specifically, the method of the present disclosure adaptively modifies the volume of the data to be annotated based on the performance of the unsupervised learning method applied in the system. Moreover, in the absence of an annotation mechanism for clusters of time series data, meta data associated with the time series data is utilized for annotation and validation of dataset.

  • Patent number: 12524369
    Abstract: Performing automatic qubit relocation is disclosed herein. A processor device of a first quantum computing device receives a system stress indicator from a system monitor that tracks a status of the first quantum computing device and/or a status of qubits maintained by the first quantum computing device. A relocation rule is applied to the system stress indicator to determine whether one or more qubits located at the first quantum computing device are to be relocated. If so, the one or more qubits are relocated from the first quantum computing device to a second quantum computing device (e.g., by physically transporting the qubits via a quantum channel, or by teleporting the qubits using pairs of entangled qubits, as non-limiting examples). The processor device also updates qubit registry records for the one or more qubits to indicate that the one or more qubits have been relocated.

  • Patent number: 12493809
    Abstract: Quantum process duplication is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a processor device receives a request to duplicate a first quantum process that is associated with a first one or more qubits. The processor device obtains metadata associated with the first quantum process and its qubits, wherein the metadata includes an identifier of the first quantum process and an identifier of each of the first one or more qubits. The processor device then duplicates the first quantum process as a second quantum process. Finally, the quantum process manager associates a second one or more qubits with the second quantum process (e.g., by associating the first one or more qubits with the second quantum process as the second one or more qubits, or by allocating a new set of one or more qubits for the second quantum process as the second one or more qubits, as non-limiting examples).

  • Patent number: 12455944
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for analyzing samples. The method includes acquiring a set of feature representations associated with a set of samples. The set of samples illustratively have classification information for indicating classifications of the set of samples. The method further includes adjusting the set of feature representations so that distances between feature representations of samples corresponding to the same classification are less than a first distance threshold. The method further includes training a classification model based on the adjusted set of feature representations and the classification information. The classification model is illustratively configured to receive an input sample and determine a classification of the input sample. In this manner, a relatively accurate classification model can be trained using a small number of samples, thereby reducing computation time and required computation capacity.

  • Patent number: 12450524
    Abstract: Machine learning techniques which allow machine learning to be performed even when a cost function is not a convex function are provided. A machine learning system includes a plurality of node portions which learn mapping that uses one common primal variable by machine learning based on their respective input data while sending and receiving information to and from each other. The machine learning is performed so as to minimize, instead of a cost function of a non-convex function originally corresponding to the machine learning, a proxy convex function serving as an upper bound on the cost function. The proxy convex function is represented by a formula of a first-order gradient of the cost function with respect to the primal variable or by a formula of a first-order gradient and a formula of a second-order gradient of the cost function with respect to the primal variable.
