A plasma beam intensity of the directional etching is adjusted according to the topography data.

Abstract: Machine learning systems that implement neural networks typically operate in an inference mode or a training mode. In the training mode, inference operations are performed to help guide the training process. Inference mode operation typically involves forward propagation and intensive access to certain sparse matrices, encoded as a set of vectors. Back propagation and intensive access to transposed versions of the same sparse matrices provide training refinements. Generating a transposed version of a sparse matrix can consume significant additional memory and computation resources. In one embodiment, two additional encoding vectors are generated, providing efficient operations on sparse matrices and also on transposed representations of the same sparse matrices. In a neural network the efficient operations can reduce the amount of memory needed for backpropagation and reduce power consumption.

The second phase is different from the first phase in composition, and the interpenetrating polymer network has a substantially periodic pattern. Surface roughness of the porous top pad is consistent during the polishing of the workpiece.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and techniques for evaluating and improving algorithms for autonomous driving planning and control (PNC), using one or more metrics (e.g., similarity scores) computed based on expert demonstrations. For example, the one or more metrics allow for improving PNC based on human, as opposed to or in addition to optimizing certain oversimplified properties, such as the least distance or time, as an objective. When driving in certain scenarios, such as taking a turn, people may drive in a distributed probability pattern instead of in a uniform line (e.g., different speeds and different curvatures at the same corner). As such, there can be more than one “correct” control trajectory for an autonomous vehicle to perform in the same turn. Safety, comfort, speeds, and other criteria may lead to different preferences and judgment as to how well the controlled trajectory has been computed.
