  • Patent number: 11816400
    Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of techniques for optimal fault-tolerant implementations of controlled-Za gates and Heisenberg interactions. Improvements in the implementation of the controlled-Za gate can be made by using a clean ancilla and in-circuit measurement. Various examples are described that depend on whether the implementation is with or without measurement and feedforward. The implementation of the Heisenberg interaction can leverage the improved controlled-Za gate implementation. These implementations can cut down significantly the implementation costs associated with fault-tolerant quantum computing systems.

  • Patent number: 11797825
    Abstract: The technology disclosed provides a so-called “joint many-task neural network model” to solve a variety of increasingly complex natural language processing (NLP) tasks using growing depth of layers in a single end-to-end model. The model is successively trained by considering linguistic hierarchies, directly connecting word representations to all model layers, explicitly using predictions in lower tasks, and applying a so-called “successive regularization” technique to prevent catastrophic forgetting. Three examples of lower level model layers are part-of-speech (POS) tagging layer, chunking layer, and dependency parsing layer. Two examples of higher level model layers are semantic relatedness layer and textual entailment layer. The model achieves the state-of-the-art results on chunking, dependency parsing, semantic relatedness and textual entailment.

  • Patent number: 11727243
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for question answering over knowledge graph using a Knowledge Embedding based Question Answering (KEQA) framework. Instead of inferring an input questions' head entity and predicate directly, KEQA embodiments target jointly recovering the question's head entity, predicate, and tail entity representations in the KG embedding spaces. In embodiments, a joint distance metric incorporating various loss terms is used to measure distances of a predicated fact to all candidate facts. In embodiments, the fact with the minimum distance is returned as the answer. Embodiments of a joint training strategy are also disclosed for better performance. Performance evaluation on various datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of the disclosed systems and methods using the KEQA framework.
