  • Patent number: 12657482
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for provided for augmenting graph networks. Upon receiving a request from an edge device, a graph system prompts a generative model and compares its output to a first graph network of nodes and edges based on similarity scores and degrees of separation. If an adequate response is not found, the graph system identifies and evaluates a second set of nodes outside the first graph network, extracts relevant metadata, and creates a second graph network with new relationships. Contextual natural language is generated from the metadata to form a response, which is returned to the edge device, and may involve controlling one or more assets or devices in response to the context of the request and/or the response.

  • Patent number: 12651148
    Abstract: Neuron circuits are provided for spiking neural network apparatus having multiple such neuron circuits interconnected by links, each associated with a respective weight, for transmission of signals between neuron circuits. A neuron circuit includes a digital transmitter for generating trigger signals, indicating a state of the neuron circuit, on outgoing links of the circuit. The state is encoded in a time interval defined by these trigger signals. The neuron circuit includes a digital receiver for detecting such trigger signals on incoming links of the circuit, and digital accumulator logic. In response to detecting a trigger signal on an incoming link, the digital accumulator logic is adapted to generate a weighted signal dependent on the time interval and to accumulate the weighted signals generated from trigger signals on the incoming links to determine the state of the neuron circuit.

  • Patent number: 12639612
    Abstract: Communication-capable devices such as commercial Wi-Fi devices can be used for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems to jointly exchange data and monitor environment. Such devices typically require diverse signal processing such as machine learning inference that demands high-power operations for real-time sensing and computing. The present invention provides a way to realize energy-efficient computing by exploiting the capability of data communications to access distributed computing resources including classical computers and quantum computers over networks. The system and method are based on the realization that computationally intensive processing is offloaded to networked hybrid classical-quantum computing to build dynamic computing graphs. Some embodiments use automated classical-quantum machine learning whose circuits and hyperparameters are automatically adjusted via gradient or heuristic optimization for Wi-Fi indoor monitoring and human tracking.

  • Patent number: 12591817
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting rule lists from tree ensembles are provided. A system extracts first stage candidate rules from individual trees. The system identifies the first stage candidate rules that satisfy a precision threshold and places those rules in a solution set. Subsequently, a determination is made whether a further stage is needed based on whether a predetermined number of positive data samples of the data set are covered by the solution set. In the further stage, the system generates next stage candidate rules from previous stage candidate rules that have not been pruned and identifies the next stage candidate rules that satisfy the precision threshold, placing those rules in the solution set. A simplified rule list is generated by identifying a minimum subset of rules in the solution set that covers the positive data samples within the precision threshold.

  • Patent number: 12475357
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a technique is presented that accesses training data that includes information about items, queries for items, and labels for the combinations of items and queries. The labels may correspond to different events, and there may be multiple different labels for the same combination of item and query. A machine learned model is then trained to learn a function for embedding each item to which a label pertains and a function for embedding each query to which a label pertains. Then, for each item in the training data, the items are embedded using the machine learned model, and the item embeddings for the item are concatenated into a single item embedding. At inference time, a similar concatenation is performed for multiple query embeddings. The concatenated embeddings are then used as input to an approximate k-nearest neighbor search function.
