Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an automated image tagging system that can predict a set of tags, along with relevance scores, that can be used for keyword-based image retrieval, image tag proposal, and image tag auto-completion based on user input. Initially, during training, a clustering technique is utilized to reduce cluster imbalance in the data that is input into a convolutional neural network (CNN) for training feature data. In embodiments, the clustering technique can also be utilized to compute data point similarity that can be utilized for tag propagation (to tag untagged images). During testing, a diversity based voting framework is utilized to overcome user tagging biases. In some embodiments, bigram re-weighting can down-weight a keyword that is likely to be part of a bigram based on a predicted tag set.

Abstract: In the present disclosure, it has been appreciated that memory structures, such as static random access memory (SRAM) structures, have feature densities that are extremely high. While this is beneficial in allowing the memory structures to store large amounts of data in a small chip footprint, it is potentially detrimental in that it makes the memory structures more susceptible to leakage current than the other areas of the chip. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides pseudo memory structures which are similar in terms of layout spacing to actual memory structures. However, rather than being used as actual memory structures that store data during operation, these pseudo memory structures are used to characterize leakage current in the design of the IC and/or to characterize the fabrication process used to manufacture the IC.

A correlation between the network conditions and the voice call quality scores is then determined.
