  • Patent number: 11556742
    Abstract: Techniques for training machine learning models for improved accuracy at classifying medical imaging data sets by trimming ambiguous samples from training data sets are described herein. In some embodiments, a machine learning model is trained using a data set, where a subset of the data set comprises data with a conflict between a first label based on an expert opinion and a second label based on a ground truth based on a medical examination. During some epochs of training the machine learning model, loss values for each data sample in the epoch are compared against a loss threshold, with data samples with corresponding loss values that exceed the loss threshold that also belong to the subclass trimmed from the data set for subsequent epochs of training. The loss threshold for the next epoch is then updated based on loss values of the trimmed data set.

  • Patent number: 11551098
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a generative adversarial network-based optimization (GAN-O) method. The method includes: transforming an application into a function optimization problem; establishing a GAN-based function optimization model based on a test function and a test dimension of the function optimization problem, including constructing a generator G and a discriminator D based on the GAN; training the function optimization model by training the discriminator and the generator alternatively, to obtain a trained function optimization model; and using the trained function optimization model to perform iterative calculation to obtain an optimal solution. In this way, the optimal solution is obtained based on the GAN. The present invention can improve the parameter training process of a deep neural network to obtain a better local optimal solution in a shorter time, making the training of the deep neural network more stable and obtaining better local search results.

  • Patent number: 11544529
    Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to semi-supervised training and application of stacked autoencoders and other classifiers for predictive and other purposes. In various embodiments, a semi-supervised model (108) may be trained for sentence classification, and may combine what is referred to herein as a “residual stacked de-noising autoencoder” (“RSDA”) (220), which may be unsupervised, with a supervised classifier (218) such as a classification neural network (e.g., a multilayer perceptron, or “MLP”). In various embodiments, the RSDA may be a stacked denoising autoencoder that may or may not include one or more residual connections. If present, the residual connections may help the RSDA “remember” forgotten information across multiple layers. In various embodiments, the semi-supervised model may be trained with unlabeled data (for the RSDA) and labeled data (for the classifier) simultaneously.
