  • Patent number: 11574207
    Abstract: Techniques are described for training and evaluating a proximal factorization machine engine. In one or more embodiments, the engine receives a set of training data that identifies a set of actions taken by a plurality of users with respect to a plurality of items. The engine generates, for a prediction model, (a) a first set of model parameters representing relationships between features of the plurality of users and the set of actions, and (b) a second set of model parameters representing interactions between different features of the plurality of users and the plurality of items. For each respective item in a plurality of items, the engine computes a probabilistic score based on the model parameters. The engine selects and presents a subset of items based on the probabilistic scores.

  • Patent number: 11568605
    Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently and accurately access previously stored maps and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. The cross reality system may include a cloud-based localization service that responds to requests from devices to localize with respect to a stored map. The request may include one or more sets of feature descriptors extracted from an image of the physical world around the device. Those features may be posed relative to a coordinate frame used by the local device. The localization service may identify one or more stored maps with a matching set of features. Based on a transformation required to align the features from the device with the matching set of features, the localization service may compute and return to the device a transformation to relate its local coordinate frame to a coordinate frame of the stored map.

  • Patent number: 11551077
    Abstract: Techniques for statistics-aware weight quantization are presented. To facilitate reducing the bit precision of weights, for a set of weights, a quantizer management component can estimate a quantization scale value to apply to a weight as a linear or non-linear function of the mean of a square of a weight value of the weight and the mean of an absolute value of the weight value, wherein the quantization scale value is determined to have a smaller quantization error than all, or at least almost all, other quantization errors associated with other quantization scale values. A quantizer component applies the quantization scale value to symmetrically and/or uniformly quantize weights of a layer of the set of weights to generate quantized weights, the weights being quantized using rounding. The respective quantized weights can be used to facilitate training and inference of a deep learning system.
