Abstract: A method of optimizing an iterative process defines a set of trainable parameters and a differentiable gating function to be applied to each parameter in the set of trainable parameters. A trainable model of the iterative process is built, wherein the iterative process is modified by using the value of the differentiable gating function applied to the parameters to compute a weighted sum of internal variables of the iterative process before and after each iteration. A machine learning-based optimization of the trainable model of the iterative process determines a subset of iterations of the iterative process to perform. The subset of iterations is determined such that an accuracy and a number of active iterations of the iterative process are jointly optimized. The method processes only the subset of the iterations to perform the iterative process. The method is applied to optimize the layered belief propagation algorithm for LDPC decoding.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing electronic transactions of pet homing data is disclosed. The method includes receiving a pet selection, sending a confirmation indicating that the pet has been homed, determining whether at least one pet owner profile corresponding to at least one user record exists in a data store, in response to the determining that the at least one pet owner profile does not exist in the data store, creating a new pet owner profile based on the at least one user record, determining whether the at least one pet profile corresponding to at least one pet record exists in the data store, in response to determining that the at least one pet profile does not exist in the data store, creating a new pet profile based on the at least one pet record, and associating the new pet profile with the new pet owner profile.

Abstract: A control system for a building includes a controller configured to control a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system configured to condition a space within the building. An electronic device is configured to be in electronic communication with the controller and provides a first output to the controller that corresponds to a first state of the electronic device. The electronic device provides a second output to the controller that corresponds to a second state of the electronic device. In response to receiving one of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change a state of the HVAC system from a first state to a second state. In response to receiving the other of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change the state of the HVAC system from the second state to a third state.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device (WCD) may train a bitwise autoencoder neural network to obtain a constellation mapping. The WCD may determine a bit position ordering for bit positions of modulated symbols associated with the constellation mapping based at least in part on error protection levels of bit positions associated with the constellation mapping. The WCD may perform bit interleaving for one or more coded bits of a communication, based at least in part on the bit position ordering of the constellation mapping, to obtain one or more interleaved bits. The WCD may generate one or more modulated symbols for the communication by mapping the one or more interleaved bits using the constellation mapping. The WCD may transmit, to a receiver device, the one or more modulated symbols for the communication. Numerous other aspects are described.

The controller may report when the location of the mobile device crosses the selected one of the two or more predetermined geo-fences to a remote device. Other geofencing approaches are also described.
