Patent number: 11237848Abstract: Collaborator content selection and manipulation actions and comments during interaction with a document are recorded to enhance asynchronous collaboration. The collaborator content selection and manipulation actions and comments are recorded during interaction with a document in a first collaboration viewport at a first time and played back in a second collaboration viewport at a second time while the same or a different instance of the document is displayed. The collaborator content selection and manipulation actions and comments include at least text selection, mouse or pen movements, and voice comments or ink annotations that are played back to recreate the collaborator changes and comments as though they were occurring in real-time, thereby creating a user experience that is more like the “over the shoulder” collaboration that would be available to collaborators that are at the same physical location.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Seth Fox, Erez Kikin Gil, Daniel P.

System and method of input alignment for efficient vector operations in an artificial neural network
Patent number: 11238334Abstract: A novel and useful system and method of input alignment for streamlining vector operations that reduce the required memory read bandwidth. The input aligner as deployed in the NN processor, functions to facilitate the reuse of data read from memory and to avoid having to re-read that data in the context of neural network calculations. The input aligner functions to distribute input data (or weights) to the appropriate compute elements while consuming input data in a single cycle. Thus, the input aligner is operative to lower the required read bandwidth of layer input in an ANN. This reflects the fact that normally in practice, a vector multiplication is performed every time instance. This considers the fact that in many native calculations that take place in an ANN, the same data point is involved in multiple calculations.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Inventors: Avi Baum, Or Danon, Daniel Ciubotariu -
