Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating one or more random numbers includes configuring a mapper to feed inputs of a random number generation system using a subset of noise sources from multiple noise sources. The random number generation system generates a random number based on the inputs. The method further includes evaluating the subset of noise sources and detecting that a first noise source from the subset of noise sources has degraded in quality. The method further includes evaluating a second noise source from the available noise sources, the second noise source not being in the subset of noise sources. In response to the second noise source satisfying a predetermined threshold criterion, the first noise source is replaced with the second in the subset of noise sources for providing random bit streams to facilitate generating the random number by the random number generation system.

Abstract: In a cascaded integrator comb (CIC) filter, a time-varying gain is added before the last integrating stage transforming its sub optimal boxcar impulse response into an FIR filter of arbitrary length. Make the coefficients sparse and taking them from a set of small integers leads to an efficient hardware implementation that does not compromise any of the essential CIC filter characteristics especially the overflow handling. The proposed sparse CIC structure can improve the worst case stop band attenuation by as much as 10 dB while occupying 77% of the chip area and consuming 30% less power compared to a standard a 5th order CIC filter, and reducing the overall bit growth of the filter and the amount of high rate operations. Design examples are given illustrating the advantages and flexibility of the proposed structure.
