Abstract: Provided are a polymer containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit, and an organic field effect transistor and an organic solar cell containing the polymer. The film may be formed by coating a substrate with a polymer containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit using a solution process. Therefore, the production cost may be reduced and a large-scale device may be suitably manufactured since there is no need for an expensive vacuum system to form films. Also, the polymer according to one embodiment of the present invention containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit has very excellent flatness since the thiophene unit is continuously coupled with a vinyl group having excellent flatness. Therefore, the polymer may be useful in further improving the charge mobility since it has high crystallinity caused by the improved ordering property between molecules. Such crystallinity may be further improved by the heat treatment.

Abstract: Discriminative pretraining technique embodiments are presented that pretrain the hidden layers of a Deep Neural Network (DNN). In general, a one-hidden-layer neural network is trained first using labels discriminatively with error back-propagation (BP). Then, after discarding an output layer in the previous one-hidden-layer neural network, another randomly initialized hidden layer is added on top of the previously trained hidden layer along with a new output layer that represents the targets for classification or recognition. The resulting multiple-hidden-layer DNN is then discriminatively trained using the same strategy, and so on until the desired number of hidden layers is reached. This produces a pretrained DNN. The discriminative pretraining technique embodiments have the advantage of bringing the DNN layer weights close to a good local optimum, while still leaving them in a range with a high gradient so that they can be fine-tuned effectively.

Abstract: Deep Neural Network (DNN) training technique embodiments are presented that train a DNN while exploiting the sparseness of non-zero hidden layer interconnection weight values. Generally, a fully connected DNN is initially trained by sweeping through a full training set a number of times. Then, for the most part, only the interconnections whose weight magnitudes exceed a minimum weight threshold are considered in further training. This minimum weight threshold can be established as a value that results in only a prescribed maximum number of interconnections being considered when setting interconnection weight values via an error back-propagation procedure during the training. It is noted that the continued DNN training tends to converge much faster than the initial training.

Abstract: The inventors have examined the means for providing more efficacious gene expression blocking compounds. The inventors have discovered new structural features that surprisingly improve the efficacy of gene expression blocking molecules. These features include the presence of multiple 3? ends and a linker at the 5? ends. Surprisingly, these features improve the efficacy of the gene expression blocking compounds in a manner that decreases the compound's biologic instability. Even more surprisingly, this effect has been found to be applicable to both DNA and RNA oligonucleotide-based compounds and to have application in traditional antisense and RNAi technologies.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for training an acoustic model are disclosed. A training corpus is accessed and converted into an initial acoustic model. Scores are calculated for a correct class and competitive classes, respectively, for each token given the initial acoustic model. Also, a sample-adaptive window bandwidth is calculated for each training token. From the calculated scores and the sample-adaptive window bandwidth values, loss values are calculated based on a loss function. The loss function, which may be derived from a Bayesian risk minimization viewpoint, can include a margin value that moves a decision boundary such that token-to-boundary distances for correct tokens that are near the decision boundary are maximized. The margin can either be a fixed margin or can vary monotonically as a function of algorithm iterations. The acoustic model is updated based on the calculated loss values. This process can be repeated until an empirical convergence is met.
