  • Publication number: 20240153495
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a training dataset that includes one or more spoken training utterances for training an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model. Each spoken training utterance in the training dataset paired with a corresponding transcription and a corresponding target sequence of auxiliary tokens. For each spoken training utterance, the method includes generating a speech recognition hypothesis for a corresponding spoken training utterance, determining a speech recognition loss based on the speech recognition hypothesis and the corresponding transcription, generating a predicted auxiliary token for the corresponding spoken training utterance, and determining an auxiliary task loss based on the predicted auxiliary token and the corresponding target sequence of auxiliary tokens. The method also includes the ASR model jointly on the speech recognition loss and the auxiliary task loss determined for each spoken training utterance.

  • Patent number: 11969821
    Abstract: A system includes an energy source, a focusing system, and a controller. The energy source is configured to output energy pulses to the focusing system. A chamber surrounds at least a portion of a metallic substrate and contain a liquid in contact with a surface of the metallic substrate. The controller is configured to cause the energy source to output energy pulses and cause the focusing system to focus a focal volume of the energy pulses at or near the surface of the metallic substrate that is in contact with the liquid to create micro-scale or smaller surface texturing on the metallic substrate.

  • Patent number: 11966600
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory device with enhanced data reliability capabilities are described. For a write operation, a memory device may receive a write command from a host device indicating a first set of data. The memory device may determine to operate in first mode of operation associated with a reliability above a threshold and generate a second set of data to store with the first set of data based on operating in the first mode of operation. For a read operation, the memory device may identify that a read command received from a host device is associated with the first mode of operation. Based on operating in the first mode of operation, the memory device may select one or more reference thresholds (e.g., a subset of reference thresholds) to retrieve the first set of data and transmit the first set of data to the host device.

  • Patent number: 11960398
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enhanced data reliability in multi-level memory cells are described. For a write operation, a host device may identify a first set of data to be stored by a set of memory cells at a memory device. Based on a quantity of bits within the first set of data being less than a storage capacity of the set of memory cells, the host device may generate a second set of data and transmit a write command including the first and second sets of data to the memory device. For a read operation, the host device may receive a first set of data from the memory device in response to transmitting a read command. The memory device may extract a second set of data from the first set of data and validate a portion of the first set of data using the second set of data.

  • Patent number: 11933774
    Abstract: In some embodiments, data from multiple vehicle-based natural gas leak detection survey runs are used by computer-implemented machine learning systems to generate a list of natural gas leaks ranked by hazard level. A risk model embodies training data having known hazard levels, and is used to classify newly-discovered leaks. Hazard levels may be expressed by continuous variables, and/or probabilities that a given leak fits within a predefined category of hazard (e.g. Grades 1-3). Each leak is represented by a cluster of leak indications (peaks) originating from a common leak source. Hazard-predictive features may include maximum, minimum, mean, and/or median CH4/amplitude of aggregated leak indications; estimated leak flow rate, determined from an average of leak indications in a cluster; likelihood of leak being natural gas based on other indicator data (e.g. ethane concentration); probability the leak was detected on a given pass; and estimated distance to leak source.

  • Publication number: 20230210391
    Abstract: Various examples are described for detecting heart rate and respiratory rate by using measurements of light applied to skin through an article. For example, a sensor application obtains a set of measurements of light. The application compensates for a contribution of the article based on one or more known optical properties of the article. The sensor application further determines, from the set of measurements of light, a periodic change in amplitude. The sensor application identifies the periodic change in amplitude as a heart rate having an identical periodicity. The sensor application identifies a respiratory rate as equal to the rate of change of the heart rate.
