Abstract: Backpropagation of an artificial neural network can be triggered or based on input data. The input data are received into the artificial neural network, and the input data are forward propagated through the artificial neural network, which generates output values at classifier layer perceptrons of the network. Classifier layer perceptrons that have the largest output values after the input data have been forward propagated through the artificial neural network are identified. The output difference between the classifier layer perceptrons that have the largest output values is determined. It is then determined whether the output difference transgresses a threshold, and if the output difference does not transgress a threshold, the artificial neural network is backpropagated.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a user interface (UI) that permits users to select how point cloud colorings determined from multiple data sources are blended together in a rendering of a point cloud. The data sources may include photographic, label, and/or LIDAR intensity data. To improve frame rates, an aggregated point cloud may be generated using a spatial hash of a large set of points and sampling of each hash bucket based on the number of points therein and a user-configurable density. Sizes of points in the point cloud may decrease proportionally to distance from a viewer, but increase based on an activation function that enlarges points greater than a threshold distance from the viewer. In addition, luminance statistics for sub-regions of photographic data and dominant colors determined from photographic data may be used to automatically determine color properties to apply to a point cloud coloring.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device distributes sets of training records from a training dataset for a random forest-based classifier among a plurality of workers of a computing cluster. Each worker determines whether it can perform a node split operation locally on the random forest by comparing a number of training records at the worker to a predefined threshold.

The device applies a machine learning-based predictor to the determined data size and entropy measure of the training records to be used for the split operation, to predict its completion time. The device coordinates the workers of the computing cluster to perform the node split operations in parallel such that the node split operations in a given batch are grouped based on their predicted completion times.
