  • Patent number: 11966837
    Abstract: In an approach for compressing a neural network, a processor receives a neural network, wherein the neural network has been trained on a set of training data. A processor receives a compression ratio. A processor compresses the neural network based on the compression ratio using an optimization model to solve for sparse weights. A processor re-trains the compressed neural network with the sparse weights. A processor outputs the re-trained neural network.

  • Patent number: 11410891
    Abstract: Anomaly detection and remedial recommendation techniques for improving the quality and yield of microelectronic products are provided. In one aspect, a method for quality and yield improvement via anomaly detection includes: collecting time series sensor data during individual steps of a semiconductor manufacturing process; calculating anomaly scores for each of the individual steps using a predictive model; and implementing changes to the semiconductor manufacturing process based on the anomaly scores. A system for quality and yield improvement via anomaly detection is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11216743
    Abstract: A first dependency graph is constructed based on a first data set by solving an objective function constrained with a maximum number of non-zeros and formulated with a regularization term comprising a quadratic penalty to control sparsity. The quadratic penalty in constructing the second dependency graph is determined as a function of the first data set. A second dependency graph is constructed based on a second data set by solving the objective function constrained with the maximum number of non-zeros and formulated with the regularization term comprising a quadratic penalty. The quadratic penalty in constructing the second dependency graph is determined as a function of the first data set and the second data set. An anomaly score is determined for each of a plurality of sensors based on comparing the first dependency graph and the second dependency graph, nodes of which represent sensors.

  • Patent number: 11099529
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling a production system includes mapping, by a controller, the production system as a directed acyclic graph. The production system can include multiple plants that are represented as nodes and relations between the plants represented by edges of the directed acyclic graph. The method further includes generating, by the controller, a regression model for each of the plants in the production system. The method further includes predicting, by the controller, an output of each plant based on sensor data associated from each plant. The method further includes adjusting, by the controller, one or more control variables for each plant based on a target output by using machine learning. The method further includes adjusting, by the controller, the one or more control variables for each plant to generate the target output.

  • Patent number: 10733813
    Abstract: A system and method for maintaining health of a fleet of assets implementing an asset maintenance framework for collective anomaly detection that provides for a more accurate maintenance planning solution for the fleet or assets that may be prioritized. Based on a Bayesian multi-task multi-modal sparse mixture of sparse Gaussian graphical models (MTL-MM GGM), the methods combine the variational Bayes framework with (1) Laplace prior-based sparse structure learning and (2) an 0-based sparse mixture weight selection approach. Dual sparsity is guaranteed over both variable-variable dependency and mixture components to efficiently learn multi-modal distributions that are observed in various applications. A generated model represents the fleet-level CbM model as a combination between two model components: 1) S sets of sparse mixture weights representing individuality of the assets in the fleet; and 2) One set of sparse GGMs that are shared with the S assets to represent commonality across the S assets.
