  • Patent number: 11664828
    Abstract: A polar decoder circuit can execute successive cancellation list polar decoding on multiple threads concurrently. An LLR update engine of the polar decoder circuit and a sort engine of the polar decoder circuit can operate concurrently, with the LLR update engine computing updated path metrics for one codeword while the sort engine sorts candidates for one or more other codewords according to path metrics already computed by the LLR update engine. Threads corresponding to different codewords can cycle sequentially between the LLR update engine and the sort engine.

  • Patent number: 10460036
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to transferred learning from a first language (e.g., a source language for which a semantic parser has been defined) to a second language (e.g., a target language for which a semantic parser has not been defined). A system may use knowledge from a trained model in one language to model another language. For example, the system may transfer knowledge of a semantic parser from a first (e.g., source) language to a second (e.g., target) language. Such transfer of knowledge may occur and be useful when the first language has sufficient training data but the second language has insufficient training data. The foregoing transfer of knowledge may extend the semantic parser for multiple languages (e.g., the first language and the second language).
