  • Publication number: 20240029719
    Abstract: A single E2E multitask model includes a speech recognition model and an endpointer model. The speech recognition model includes an audio encoder configured to encode a sequence of audio frames into corresponding higher-order feature representations, and a decoder configured to generate probability distributions over possible speech recognition hypotheses for the sequence of audio frames based on the higher-order feature representations. The endpointer model is configured to operate between a VAD mode and an EOQ detection mode. During the VAD mode, the endpointer model receives input audio frames, and determines, for each input audio frame, whether the input audio frame includes speech. During the EOQ detection mode, the endpointer model receives latent representations for the sequence of audio frames output from the audio encoder, and determines, for each of the latent representation, whether the latent representation includes final silence.

  • Patent number: 11879319
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of exploiting underground resources with a negative thixotropic fluid, which induces the fault or the fracture to slip by replacing a conventional mode of injecting water with a mode of injecting the negative thixotropic fluid. According to the negative thixotropy of the injected fluid, when the fault or the fracture does not slip, viscosity of the negative thixotropic fluid is low, and the negative thixotropic fluid could flow in the fracture network. When the fault or the fracture slips, a great shear strain rate is generated, such that the viscosity of the negative thixotropic fluid is rapidly increased with the shear strain rate, to generate a great resistance force, thereby preventing the fault from further slipping.

  • Patent number: 11880765
    Abstract: A processor training a reinforcement learning model can include receiving a first dataset representing an observable state in reinforcement learning to train a machine to perform an action. The processor receives a second dataset. Using the second dataset, the processor trains a machine learning classifier to make a prediction about an entity related to the action. The processor extracts an embedding from the trained machine learning classifier, and augments the observable state with the embedding to create an augmented state. Based on the augmented state, the processor trains a reinforcement learning model to learn a policy for performing the action, the policy including a mapping from state space to action space.
