Abstract: Attention-free transformers are disclosed. Various implementations of attention-free transformers include a gating and pooling operation that allows the attention-free transformers to provide comparable or better results to those of a standard attention-based transformer, with improved efficiency and reduced computational complexity with respect to space and time.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for defining a training data set to include biosignals and categorical labels representative of a context. For example, a categorical label may indicate whether a user was performing a difficult or easy mental task while the biosignal was being recorded. A set of first layers in a neural network can be trained using a portion of the training data set associated with a first set of users and at least one second layer can be trained using a portion of the training data set associated with a particular other user. The neural network can then be used to process other biosignals from the particular other user to generate predicted categorical context labels.

Abstract: A method includes receiving three-dimensional geometric elements as an input. The method also includes initializing geometric capsules by assigning one of the three-dimensional geometric elements to each of the geometric capsules and setting initial values for a pose component and a feature component of each of the geometric capsules. The method also includes one or more iterations of a routing procedure that includes assigning an additional one of the three-dimensional geometric elements to a respective one of the geometric capsules, based on correspondence of the additional one of the three-dimensional geometric elements to a surface defined based on the feature component of the respective one of the geometric capsules, and updating the feature component of each of the geometric capsules based on the three-dimensional geometric elements assigned to each of the geometric capsules. The method also includes outputting the geometric capsules including encoded three-dimensional data.

Abstract: A method includes defining a geometric capsule that is interpretable by a capsule neural network, wherein the geometric capsule includes a feature representation and a pose. The method also includes determining multiple viewpoints relative to the geometric capsule and determining a first appearance representation of the geometric capsule for each of the multiple viewpoints. The method also includes determining a transform for each of the multiple viewpoints that moves each of the multiple viewpoints to a respective transformed viewpoint and determining second appearance representations that each correspond to one of the transformed viewpoints. The method also includes combining the second appearance representations to define an agreed appearance representation. The method also includes updating the feature representation for the geometric capsule based on the agreed appearance representation.

Abstract: A system includes a neural network organized into layers corresponding to stages of inferences. The neural network includes a common portion, a first portion, and a second portion. The first portion includes a first set of layers dedicated to performing a first inference task on an input data. The second portion includes a second set of layers dedicated to performing a second inference task on the same input data. The common portion includes a third set of layers, which may include an input layer to the neural network, that are used in the performance of both the first and second inference tasks. The system may receive an input data and perform both inference tasks on the input data in a single pass. During training, a training sample with annotations for both inference tasks may be used to train the neural network in a single pass.

Abstract: A method and system for maintaining a database of reference images, the database including a plurality of sets of images, each set associated with one location or object. The method comprises the steps of identifying local features of each set of images; determining distances between each local feature of each set and the local features of all other sets; identifying discriminative features of each set of images by removing local features based on the determined distances; and storing the discriminative features of each set of images.
