  • Patent number: 12045715
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training an artificial neural network (ANN) by generating a first learned parameter for use in normalising input data values during a subsequent inference phase of the trained ANN. The method includes, for each of a series of batches of training data values, deriving a batch variance of the batch of training data values and a running variance of all training data values already processed in the training phase; generating an approximation of a current value of the first learned parameter so that a first scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the first learned parameter and the running variance, is constrained to be equal to a power of two; and normalizing the batch of input data values by a second scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the current value of the first learned parameter and the batch variance.

  • Patent number: 12020177
    Abstract: Embodiments generate digital plans for agricultural fields. In an embodiment, a model receives digital inputs including stress risk data, product maturity data, field location data, planting date data, and/or harvest date data. The model mathematically correlates sets of digital inputs with threshold data associated with the stress risk data. The model is used to generate stress risk prediction data for a set of product maturity and field location combinations. In a digital plan, product maturity data or planting date data or harvest date data or field location data can be adjusted based on the stress risk prediction data. A digital plan can be transmitted to a field manager computing device. An agricultural apparatus can be moved in response to a digital plan.

  • Patent number: 12020151
    Abstract: Each processor of the SIMD array performs the computations for a respective neuron of a neural network. As part of this computation, each processor of the SIMD array multiplies an input to a weight and accumulates the result for its assigned neuron each (MAC) instruction cycle. A table in a first memory is used to store which input is fed to each processor of the SIMD array. A crossbar is used to route a specific input to each processor each MAC cycle. A second memory is used to provide the appropriate weight to each processor that corresponds the input being routed to that processor.

    Abstract: Partial differential equations used to simulate physical systems can be solved, in one embodiment, by a solver that has been trained with a set of generative neural networks that operated at different resolutions in a solution space of a domain that defines the physical space of the physical system. The solver can operate in a latent vector space which encodes solutions to the PDE in latent vectors in the latent vector space. The variables of the PDE can be partially decoupled in the latent vector space while the solver operates. The domain can be divided into subdomains that are classified based on their positions in the domain.

  • Patent number: 11960976
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to intelligent entities for providing information service over a network in a telecommunication system. An intelligent element framework manages intelligent entities, which are modular and trained using artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms to perform prediction or inference for different types of applications. The intelligent entities may communicate with each other via the intelligent element framework. For example, an intelligent entity may generate an output and provide the output for use by one or more other intelligent entities. Thus, the intelligent element framework may distribute portions of tasks for information service across multiple intelligent entities chained together, for example, in a directed graph configuration.

  • Patent number: 11915104
    Abstract: Respective correlation metrics between token groups of a particular text attribute of a data set and a prediction target attribute are computed. Based on the correlation metrics, a predictive token group list is created. For various observation records of the data set, values of a derived categorical attribute corresponding to the particular text attribute are determined based on matches between the particular text attribute value and the predictive token group list. A measure of the predictive utility of the particular text attribute is obtained using correlations between the categorical attribute and the prediction target attribute.
