  • Publication number: 20240354550
    Abstract: The computer-assisted parallelization of a task capable of being accomplished by a pre-trained machine learning model. Multiple learner models are created by, for each of at least some of the parallel compute resources, selecting one or more characteristics of a learner model based on one or more characteristics of the corresponding compute resource on which the learner model is to run. The learner models are then taught. The teaching occurs such that the learner model is capable of generating a task result when given the task. At task time, the tasks results are then aggregated to generate an aggregated task result. The learner models are thus collectively tailored to run efficiently on the corresponding hardware.

  • Publication number: 20240300536
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining control signals for controlling an autonomous vehicle to implement a slowdown manoeuvre, comprising: detecting an obstacle at a distance ahead of the autonomous vehicle; comparing the distance with a threshold value and implementing a slowdown manoeuvre in dependence on the comparison, the slowdown manoeuvre selected from: a first slowdown manoeuvre carried out by a kinematic function, which is a time derivative of acceleration, in which a constraint optimisation has been applied to optimise a cost function of the slowdown manoeuvre subject to a set of hard constraints that require a final acceleration, speed and position to satisfy respective acceleration, speed and position targets, given an initial speed and acceleration of the vehicle, and impose a jerk magnitude upper limit; and a second slowdown manoeuvre implemented in an adaptive cruise control mode which aims to reach a target headway between the autonomous vehicle and the obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20240067010
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a charging cable management system, which is motorized and is applied in electric vehicle charging equipment, or other applications that require this type of solution. The developed charging cable management system allows extending or retracting a suspension cable that assists the user in the task of mobilizing and moving an electric charging cable for charging electric vehicles, preventing it from touching the ground when not in use. In addition, the charging cable management system allows the use and mobilization of charging cables with greater longitudinal amplitude, minimizing the efforts associated with carrying out these tasks by the user.

  • Publication number: 20230409874
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide accelerated transfer learning for machine learning models, such as neural networks, as a service. In doing so, the aspects disclosed herein decouple the conversion process for use of machine learning models from deployment of the models in a production environment through the creation of one or more common generic models that execute on a hardware accelerator, such as a FPGA. Additional aspects of the disclosure relate to the creation of an accelerated machine learning model. The accelerated machine learning model is created by identifying common portions of a machine learning model that can be leveraged by a plurality of different machine learning models. Still further aspects of the disclosure relate to training scenario specific machine learning models for use with an accelerated machine learning model.

    Abstract: Devices, methods, computer readable media, and other embodiments are described for automated formal analysis and verification of a circuit design. One embodiment involves accessing a circuit design and a set of default verification targets for the circuit design. A plurality of partitions for the circuit design are then automatically generated, and a first partition is analyzed to generate a first set of verification targets for the first partition based on the set of default verification targets and a set of partition and schedule values for the first partition. A first formal verification analysis is performed on the first partition, the first set of verification targets, and the set of partition and schedule values, and a formal verification output is generated based on the first formal verification analysis. Various embodiments can additionally involve stagnation analysis and additional automation to customize the analysis for each partition.
