  • Publication number: 20240105064
    Abstract: Disclosed is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided over-the-air computing system based on full-duplex relay and a trajectory and power optimization method thereof. The UAV-aided over-the-air computing system adopts the UAV as a full-duplex relay for data fusing and forwarding. The method of the application aims at minimizing an average mean square error of over-the-air computing, and solves an optimization problem under constraints of sensor transmitting power, information transmission rate, UAV trajectory and denoising factor. For an overall joint optimization problem, each optimization variable is determined one by one by an alternative optimization method according to the high coupling of optimization variables.

  • Patent number: 11481416
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a Question Answering (QA) system utilizing a trained generator of a generative adversarial network (GAN) that generates a bag-of-ngrams (BoN) output representing unlabeled data for performing a natural language processing operation. The QA system obtains a plurality of candidate answers to a natural language question, where each candidate answer comprises one or more ngrams. For each candidate answer, a confidence score is generated based on a comparison of the one or more ngrams in the candidate answer to ngrams in the BoN output of the generator neural network of the GAN. A final answer to the input natural language question is selected from the plurality of candidate answers based on the confidence scores associated with the candidate answers, and is output.
