Patent number: 12118459Abstract: A self-supervised machine-learning system identifies whether an intermittent signal is present. The system includes a receiver, an encoding neural network, a decoding neural network, and a gating neural network. The receiver detects radiation and from the detected radiation generates a sampled sequence including sampled values describing the intermittent signal and noise. The encoding neural network is trained to compress each window over the sampled sequence into a respective context vector having a fixed dimension less than an incoming dimension of the window. The decoding neural network is trained to decompress the respective context vector for each window into an interim sequence describing the intermittent signal while suppressing the noise. The gating neural network is trained to produce a confidence sequence from a sigmoidal output based on the interim sequence.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Inventors: Diego Marez, John David Reeder

Patent number: 12117914Abstract: Static parameters of a software container are identified that relate to metadata of the software container itself. The software container is assigned to a selected runtime environment based on the static parameters using a first machine learning model. Runtime parameters for the software container are identified by analyzing the software container at runtime. The runtime parameters relate to operations that the software container requires during runtime. Using a second machine learning model, it is determined whether the selected runtime environment matches the runtime parameters. Where the runtime environment matches, the software container continues to run in this environment. Where the runtime environment does not match, the software container is run in a different runtime environment that matches both the static and runtime parameters.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nadiya Kochura, Tiberiu Suto, Erik Rueger, Nicolò Sgobba

Patent number: 12099566Abstract: Techniques for learning and using content type embeddings. The content type embeddings have the useful property that a distance in an embedding space between two content type embeddings corresponds to a semantic similarity between the two content types represented by the two content type embeddings. The closer the distance in the space, the more the two content types are semantically similar. The farther the distance in the space, the less the two content types are semantically similar. The learned content type embeddings can be used in a content suggestion system as machine learning features to improve content suggestions to end-users.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Jongmin Baek, Jiarui Ding, Neeraj Kumar

Patent number: 12099571Abstract: Heterogeneous monitoring nodes may each generate a series of monitoring node values over time associated with operation of an industrial asset. An offline abnormal state detection model creation computer may receive the series of monitoring node values and perform a feature extraction process using a multi-modal, multi-disciplinary framework to generate an initial set of feature vectors. Then feature dimensionality reduction is performed to generate a selected feature vector subset. The model creation computer may derive digital models through a data-driven machine learning modeling method, based on input/output variables identified by domain experts or by learning from the data. The system may then automatically generate domain level features based on a difference between sensor measurements and digital model output.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: GE INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Weizhong Yan, Lalit Keshav Mestha, Daniel Francis Holzhauer

Patent number: 12056610Abstract: A learning mechanism with partially-labeled web images is provided while correcting the noise labels during the learning. Specifically, the mechanism employs a momentum prototype that represents common characteristics of a specific class. One training objective is to minimize the difference between the normalized embedding of a training image sample and the momentum prototype of the corresponding class. Meanwhile, during the training process, the momentum prototype is used to generate a pseudo label for the training image sample, which can then be used to identify and remove out of distribution (OOD) samples to correct the noisy labels from the original partially-labeled training images. The momentum prototype for each class is in turn constantly updated based on the embeddings of new training samples and their pseudo labels.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Junnan Li, Chu Hong Hoi
