  • Publication number: 20190057098
    Abstract: A system and method for event matching by analysis of text characteristics are presented. A document collection comprising documents is acquired. One or more document subsets of the document collection each comprising one or more documents potentially describing identical events are identified based on certain structured metadata fields of the documents. Salient text features are extracted from the documents in the document collection. An event similarity score for pairs of documents in the document collection is generated by comparing the text features extracted from the documents. A common event document list comprising sets of documents in the document collection whose event similarity scores with each other are above a similarity threshold is generated.

  • Publication number: 20190044512
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with biasing a sleep transistor (also referred to as a power gate transistor) in an integrated circuit. The sleep transistor may be coupled between a load circuit and a power rail, the sleep transistor to be on in an active mode to provide the supply voltage to the load circuit, and to be off in a sleep mode to disconnect the load circuit from the power rail. The bias circuit may be coupled to the gate terminal of the sleep transistor to provide a calibrated gate voltage to the gate terminal during the sleep mode. The calibrated gate voltage may be based on a subthreshold leakage current and a gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current of the sleep transistor or a replica sleep transistor designed to replicate the leakage current of the sleep transistor. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20180322384
    Abstract: A spike sent from a first artificial neuron in a spiking neural network (SNN) to a second artificial neuron in the SNN is identified, with the spike sent over a particular artificial synapse in the SNN. The membrane potential of the second artificial neuron at a particular time step, corresponding to sending of the spike, is compared to a threshold potential, where the threshold potential is set lower than a firing potential of the second artificial neuron. A change to the synaptic weight of the particular artificial synapse is determined based on the spike, where the synaptic weight is to be decreased if the membrane potential of the second artificial neuron is lower than the threshold potential at the particular time step and the synaptic weight is to be increased if the membrane potential of the second artificial neuron is higher than the threshold potential at the particular time step.

  • Publication number: 20180181175
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for a flip-flop circuit with low-leakage transistors. The flip-flop circuit may be coupled to a logic circuit of an integrated circuit to store data for the logic circuit when the logic circuit is in a sleep state. The flip-flop circuit may pass a data signal for the logic circuit along a signal path. A capacitor may be coupled between the signal path and ground to store a value of the data signal when the logic circuit is in the sleep state. A low-leakage transistor, such as an IGZO transistor, may be coupled between the capacitor and the signal path and may selectively turn on when the logic circuit transitions from the active state to the sleep state to store the value of the data signal in the capacitor. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20180107922
    Abstract: A processor or integrated circuit includes a memory to store weight values for a plurality neuromorphic states and a circuitry coupled to the memory. The circuitry is to detect an incoming data signal for a pre-synaptic neuromorphic state and initiate a time window for the pre-synaptic neuromorphic state in response to detecting the incoming data signal. The circuitry is further to, responsive to detecting an end of the time window: retrieve, from the memory, a weight value for a post-synaptic neuromorphic state for which an outgoing data signal is generated during the time window, the post-synaptic neuromorphic state being a fan-out connection of the pre-synaptic neuromorphic state; perform a causal update to the weight value, according to a learning function, to generate an updated weight value; and store the updated weight value back to the memory.

  • Publication number: 20180082176
    Abstract: Provided are a neuromorphic computing device, memory device, system, and method to maintain a spike history for neurons in a spiking neural network. A neural network spike history is generated in a memory device having an array of rows and columns of memory cells. There is one row of the rows for each of a plurality of neurons and columns for each of a plurality of time slots. Indication is made in a current column in the row of the memory cells for a firing neuron that a spike was fired. Indication is made in the current column in rows of memory cells of idle neurons that did not fire that a spike was not fired. Information in the array is used to determine a timing difference between a connected neuron and the firing neuron and to adjust a weight of the connecting synapse.
