  • Patent number: 11586883
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing emulation of quantized precision operations in a neural network. In some examples, the quantized precision operations are performed in a block floating-point format where values of a tensor share a common exponent. Techniques for selecting higher precision or lower precision can be used based on a variety of input metrics. When converting to a quantized tensor, a residual tensor is produced. In one embodiment, an error value associated with converting from a normal-precision floating point number to the quantized tensor is used to determine whether to use the residual tensor in a dot product calculation. Using the residual tensor increases the precision of an output from a node. Selection of whether to use the residual tensor can depend on various input metrics including the error value, the layer number, the exponent value, the layer type, etc.

  • Patent number: 11537940
    Abstract: Systems and methods for unsupervised training and evaluation of anomaly detection models are described. In some embodiments, an unsupervised process comprises generating an approximation of a data distribution for a training dataset including varying values for a metric of a computing resource. The process further determines, based on the size of the training dataset, a first quantile probability and a second quantile probability that represent an interval for covering a prescribed proportion of values for the metric within a prescribed confidence level. The process further trains a lower limit of the anomaly detection model using a first quantile that represents the first quantile probability in the approximation of the data distribution and an upper limit using a second quantile that represents the second quantile probability in the approximation. The trained upper and lower limits may be used to monitor input data for anomalous behavior and, if detected, trigger responsive action(s).
