  • Patent number: 10606893
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided in which a first knowledge graph, comprising nodes representing entities and edges between nodes indicative of a relationship between the entities, is received. The mechanisms identify a candidate missing edge connecting a node of the first knowledge graph to another node not present in the first knowledge graph and evaluate the candidate missing edge to determine if the candidate missing edge should be added to the first knowledge graph. The mechanisms expand the first knowledge graph to include the candidate missing edge connecting the node to a newly added node that is newly added to the first knowledge graph, to thereby generate an expanded knowledge graph, in response to the evaluation indicating that the candidate missing edge should be added to the first knowledge graph. The mechanisms then perform an operation on the expanded knowledge graph to generate a knowledge output.

  • Patent number: 10528865
    Abstract: A neuromorphic memory circuit including a memory cell with a programmable resistive memory element. A postsynaptic capacitor builds up a leaky integrate and fire (LIF) charge. An axon LIF pulse generator activates a LIF discharge path from the postsynaptic capacitor through the resistive memory element when the axon LIF pulse generator generates axon LIF pulses. A postsynaptic comparator compares the capacitor voltage to a threshold voltage and generates postsynaptic output pulses when the capacitor voltage passes the threshold voltage. The postsynaptic output pulses include a postsynaptic firing characteristic dependent on a frequency of the axon LIF pulses. A refractory circuit prevents the postsynaptic comparator from generating additional postsynaptic output pulses until a refractory time passes since a preceding postsynaptic output pulse. A training circuit adjusts the postsynaptic firing characteristic to match a target firing characteristic.
