  • Patent number: 10990878
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for the application of stochastic gradient boosting techniques to the training of deep neural networks by disallowing gradient back propagation from examples that are correctly classified by the neural network model while still keeping correctly classified examples in the gradient averaging. Removing the gradient contribution from correctly classified examples may regularize the deep neural network and prevent the model from overfitting. Further aspects described herein may provide for scheduled boosting during the training of the deep neural network model conditioned on a mini-batch accuracy and/or a number of training iterations. The model training process may start un-boosted, using maximum likelihood objectives or another first loss function.

  • Patent number: 10977566
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to performing inference, such as object recognition, based on sensory inputs received from sensors and location information associated with the sensory inputs. The sensory inputs describe one or more features of the objects. The location information describes known or potential locations of the sensors generating the sensory inputs. An inference system learns representations of objects by characterizing a plurality of feature-location representations of the objects, and then performs inference by identifying or updating candidate objects consistent with feature-location representations observed from the sensory input data and location information. In one instance, the inference system learns representations of objects for each sensor. The set of candidate objects for each sensor is updated to those consistent with candidate objects for other sensors, as well as the observed feature-location representations for the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10977580
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for integrating common sense into a machine learning (ML) system. In contrast to existing machine learning algorithms that search for statistical correlations between concepts, exemplary embodiments attempt to learn the semantic relationships or causality between the concepts. This may be accomplished by training an algorithm or data structure to learn similar vector representations of words present in the same context (e.g., that are present together in the same sentence). The resulting AI/ML, structure may be used to guide the generation of a causal graph having predictive capabilities. This causal graph may represent semantic relationships and/or causation between concepts, and hence may be employed to introduce a degree of common sense in the machine learning system.

  • Patent number: 10922610
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that conducts a first timing measurement of a blockage timing of a first window of the training of the neural network. The blockage timing measures a time that processing is impeded at layers of the neural network during the first window of the training due to synchronization of one or more synchronizing parameters of the layers. Based upon the first timing measurement, the technology is to determine whether to modify a synchronization barrier policy to include a synchronization barrier to impede synchronization of one or more synchronizing parameters of one of the layers during a second window of the training. The technology is further to impede the synchronization of the one or more synchronizing parameters of the one of the layers during the second window if the synchronization barrier policy is modified to include the synchronization barrier.
