  • Field-Programmable Gate Array Based Accelerator System
    Publication number: 20100076915
    Abstract: Accelerator systems and methods are disclosed that utilize FPGA technology to achieve better parallelism and processing speed. A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is configured to have a hardware logic performing computations associated with a neural network training algorithm, especially a Web relevance ranking algorithm such as LambaRank. The training data is first processed and organized by a host computing device, and then streamed to the FPGA for direct access by the FPGA to perform high-bandwidth computation with increased training speed. Thus, large data sets such as that related to Web relevance ranking can be processed. The FPGA may include a processing element performing computations of a hidden layer of the neural network training algorithm. Parallel computing may be realized using a single instruction multiple data streams (SIMD) architecture with multiple arithmetic logic units in the FPGA.

  • Automated Feature Selection Based on Rankboost for Ranking
    Publication number: 20100076911
    Abstract: A method using a RankBoost-based algorithm to automatically select features for further ranking model training is provided. The method reiteratively applies a set of ranking candidates to a training data set comprising a plurality of ranking objects having a known pairwise ranking order. Each round of iteration applies a weight distribution of ranking object pairs, yields a ranking result by each ranking candidate, identifies a favored ranking candidate for the round based on the ranking results, and updates the weight distribution to be used in next iteration round by increasing weights of ranking object pairs that are poorly ranked by the favored ranking candidate. The method then infers a target feature set from the favored ranking candidates identified in the iterations.
