  • Patent number: 11288575
    Abstract: A neural network training apparatus is described which has a network of worker nodes each having a memory storing a subgraph of a neural network to be trained. The apparatus has a control node connected to the network of worker nodes. The control node is configured to send training data instances into the network to trigger parallelized message passing operations which implement a training algorithm which trains the neural network. At least some of the message passing operations asynchronously update parameters of individual subgraphs of the neural network at the individual worker nodes.

  • Patent number: 11275988
    Abstract: A synchrophasor measurement-based disturbance identification method is described considering different penetration levels of renewable energy. A differential Teager-Kaiser energy operator (dTKEO)-based algorithm is first utilized to improve multiple-disturbances detection accuracy. Then, feature extractions via the integrated additive angular margin (AAM) loss and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network is described. This enables one to deal with intra-class similarity and inter-class variance of disturbances when high penetration renewable energy occurs. With the extracted features, a multi-stage weighted summing (MSWS) loss-based criterion is described for adaptive data window determination and fast disturbance pre-classification. Finally, the re-identification model based on feature similarity is established to identify unknown disturbances, a challenge for existing machine learning algorithms.

  • Patent number: 11238339
    Abstract: A set of vectors may be obtained. The vectors may be multi-dimensional vectors that are associated with and describe tokens from a first set of tokens from a corpus of sources. The description may be based in part on the relationship of the token to at least a portion of the remainder of the corpus. A set of sentiment scores may be obtained. The sentiment scores in the set of sentiment scores may describe a sentiment associated with a corresponding token that is described by a vector from the set of vectors. The set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores may be input into a pattern-recognizer pathway in a first neural network. A probability value of a potential future event may then be generated by the first neural network. The probability value may be based on the set of vectors and the set of sentiment scores.

  • Patent number: 11100421
    Abstract: In one aspect, a request for web content is received from a user device communicatively coupled to the processing device via the network. In response to receiving the request, user information associated with the user is determined. Predicted responses of the user to each variation of a plurality of variations of the web content are determined using prediction models and the user information. The prediction models include one or more decision trees generated using a splitting criterion requiring a minimum number of positive responses to a variation and a minimum number of negative responses to the variation as a condition of considering the possible split. The variation determined to have a threshold likelihood of yielding a predicted positive response of the predicted responses is selected based on the user information. The variation is transmitted to the user device via the network.
