  • Patent number: 11275558
    Abstract: An electronic device including a neural network processor and a presorter is described. The presorter determines a sorted order to be used by the neural network processor for processing a set of instances of input data through the neural network, the determining including rearranging an initial order of some or all of the instances of input data so that instances of input data having specified similarities among the some or all of the instances of input data are located nearer to one another in the sorted order. The presorter provides, to the neural network processor, the sorted order to be used for controlling an order in which instances of input data from among the set of instances of input data are processed through the neural network. A controller in the electronic device adjusts operation of the presorter based on efficiencies of the presorter and the neural network processor.

  • Patent number: 11175807
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for customizing, based on a user's activity over time, the selection of a video thumbnail for inclusion as a selectable interface element or element of a graphical interface. A server computer identifies events associated with prior interactions of a user and computes a time-decayed metric based on the time of a predicted future action of the user in comparison to a respective time of each identified event. Based on the time-decayed metric, the server computer selects a video thumbnail that is more relevant to the first event than the second event for presentation to the user.
