  • Publication number: 20220268991
    Abstract: A single-mode crystal fiber is provided. The fiber has a core. The core is made of a crystalline material with a melting point above 1900 degrees Celsius (° C.). The core has a coat. The coat is made of a crystalline material the same as that of the core. Through immersion plating under a low vacuum pressure and a high temperature, the material of the coat is sintered to form an outer layer covering the core. Thus, the thickness of the coat is controlled. A single crystal totally the same as that of the core is grown in a solid state with no ceramics contained. Consequently, the crystal contains no ceramics; and, through being sintered in a vacuum environment, the crystal has pores the smallest in size and the fewest in number, as compared to those sintered under a normal pressure.

    Abstract: Training a machine learning model can include receiving time series data. A knowledge graph structure can be received including nodes and edges, the nodes representing entities associated with the time series data, the edges representing relationships between the nodes connected by the edges. A machine learning model can be structured to forecast a prediction using the time series data. The machine learning model can be structured to integrate the knowledge graph structure as an error term in the machine learning model. The machine learning model can be trained to forecast the prediction based on the time series data and the knowledge graph structure. The error term representing the knowledge graph structure can be regularized for sparsity during training.
