  • Publication number: 20240311656
    Abstract: A technique performs the task of knowledge-graph completion in a manner that is both scalable and resource efficient. In some implementations, the technique identifies a source entity having a source-target relation that connects the source entity to a yet-to-be-determined target entity. The technique also identifies a source-entity data item that provides a passage of source-entity text pertaining to the source entity. The technique uses a machine-trained encoder model to map the source-entity data item to source-entity encoded information. The technique then predicts an identity of the target entity based on the source-entity encoded information, and based on predicate encoded information that encodes the source-target relation. In some implementations, the technique also predicts the target entity based on a consideration of one or more neighboring entities that are connected to the source entity and their respective source-to-neighbor relations.

  • Patent number: 12040014
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting configurable resistivities for lines in a memory device, such as access lines in a memory array are described. For example, metal lines at different levels of a memory device may be oxidized to different extents in order for the lines at different levels of the memory device to have different resistivities. This may allow the resistivity of lines to be tuned on a level-by-level basis without altering the fabrication techniques and related parameters used to initially form the lines at the different levels, which may have benefits related to at least reduced cost and complexity. Lines may be oxidized to a controlled extent using either a dry or wet process.

  • Publication number: 20240135413
    Abstract: A query-processing technique includes an operation of matching the input query against a plurality of candidate target items, to produce a set of candidate query-item pairings. The matching is applicable to different classes of matching, but is performed by a computer processing architecture that uses a class-agnostic instance of query-processing logic and a class-agnostic target item index. After the matching operation, the technique assigns a matching class to each candidate query-item pairing in the set of candidate query-item pairings, to produce a set of classified pairings. The technique ultimately serves a particular output item to an end user, where the particular output item is chosen based on the results of the matching and assigning. Some implementations of the technique include a filtering operation whereby the candidate-item pairings are filtered to conform to a specified selection strategy or strategies. This filtering operation supplements or replaces the assigning operation.

  • Patent number: 11966428
    Abstract: A training system produces a resource-efficient machine-trained model via a training architecture that employs plural processing paths. Some of the processing paths incorporate the use of auxiliary information that imparts external knowledge about source items being processed. The training architecture also employs contrastive learning that operates at different respective levels within the training architecture. For instance, the training architecture uses encoder-level contrastive learning to compare output information generated by different encoders within the training architecture. The training architecture uses decoder-level contrastive learning to compare output information produced by different decoders within the training architecture. An inference-stage system performs an application task using the model produced by the training system.

  • Publication number: 20240054326
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for learning classifiers for annotating a document with predicted labels under extreme classification where there are over a million labels. The learning includes receiving a joint graph including documents and labels as nodes. Multi-dimensional vector representations of a document (i.e., document representations) are generated based on graph convolution of the joint graph. Each document representation varies an extent of reliance on neighboring nodes to accommodate context. The document representations are feature-transformed using a residual layer. Per-label document representations are generated from the transformed document representations based on neighboring label attention. A classifier is trained for each of over a million labels based on joint learning using training data and the per-label document representation. The trained classifier performs highly efficiently as compared to other classifiers trained using disjoint graphs of documents and labels.

  • Publication number: 20240046037
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for training a data model based on training data. The training includes pre-training and fine-tuning the data model based on a combination of an autoregressive (AR) model and a non-autoregressive (NAR) model. Training data may be received and encoded into streams of tokens. A pre-trainer during decoding generates a continuum of data structures of the AR and NAR combined model including a main stream and a series of predicting streams. Masked tokens in predicting streams reference or attend to one or more preceding tokens in the main stream or the preceding predicting streams. A fine-tuner selects streams to generate a trained model according to a target data model. The target data model is determined based on balancing an accuracy constraint and an efficiency constraint for predicting tokens. The decoder acts as abridge between the AR and NAR models in generating a trained data model.

  • Publication number: 20230394333
    Abstract: A knowledge injection model for generative commonsense reasoning. In examples, an encoder-decoder model is used to generate a model output (204) a plausible description for a set of concepts. A prototype (218) is generated from an in-domain or out-of-domain knowledge corpus, which is further used as input (202) for the encoder-decoder model. Concept input tokens and prototype input tokens are scaled to limit potential skew that may be introduced by the prototype (218). Additionally, position indicators are generated for each input token, which indicate the relative position each respective input token as compared to other input tokens. As such, when decoding the scaled encoded input tokens, the decoder (214) may be more attuned to the scenario bias that is introduced by the prototype (218) when generating a model output (204). Thus, the encoder-decoder model need not rely solely on the set of concepts when generating the model output (204).
