  • Patent number: 10832120
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-core optimized Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architecture are disclosed. The various architectures affect communication and synchronization operations according to the Multi-Bulk-Synchronous-Parallel (MBSP) model for a given processor. The resulting family of network architectures, referred to as MBSP-RNNs, perform similarly to a conventional RNNs having the same number of parameters, but are substantially more efficient when mapped onto a modern general purpose processor. Due to the large gain in computational efficiency, for a fixed computational budget, MBSP-RNNs outperform RNNs at applications such as end-to-end speech recognition.

  • Patent number: 10332509
    Abstract: Embodiments of end-to-end deep learning systems and methods are disclosed to recognize speech of vastly different languages, such as English or Mandarin Chinese. In embodiments, the entire pipelines of hand-engineered components are replaced with neural networks, and the end-to-end learning allows handling a diverse variety of speech including noisy environments, accents, and different languages. Using a trained embodiment and an embodiment of a batch dispatch technique with GPUs in a data center, an end-to-end deep learning system can be inexpensively deployed in an online setting, delivering low latency when serving users at scale.
