  • 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).

  • Publication number: 20230385315
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a keyword sequence from an input query. A first text sequence corresponding to an input query may be received and encoded into a source sequence representation using an encoder of a machine learning model. A keyword sentence may then be generated from the source sequence representation using a decoder of the machine learning model. The decoder may generate a modified generation score for a plurality of prediction tokens, wherein the modified generation score is based on the respective prediction token generation score and a maximum generation score for a suffix of each prediction token. The decoder may then select the prediction token of the plurality of prediction tokens based on the modified generation score, and add the selected prediction token to the previously decoded partial hypothesis provided by the decoder.

  • Publication number: 20230334350
    Abstract: A computing device including a processor configured to receive data indicating, for a query category within a sampled time period, a matching density defined as a number of matches per query. The processor may generate a structural causal model (SCM) of the data within the sampled time period. The SCM may include a plurality of structural equations. Based at least in part on the plurality of structural equations, the processor may estimate a structural equation error value for the matching density. The processor may update a value of a target SCM output variable to a counterfactual updated value. Based at least in part on the SCM, the counterfactual updated value, and the structural equation error value, the processor may compute a predicted matching density when the target SCM output variable has the counterfactual updated value. The processor may output the predicted matching density.

  • Publication number: 20230267308
    Abstract: Knowledge graphs can greatly improve the quality of content recommendation systems. There is a broad variety of knowledge graphs in the domain including clicked user-ad graphs, clicked query-ad graphs, keyword-display URL graphs etc. A hierarchical Transformer model learns entity embeddings in knowledge graphs. The model consists of two different Transformer blocks where the bottom block generates relation-dependent embeddings for the source entity and its neighbors, and the top block aggregates the outputs from the bottom block to produce the target entity embedding. To balance the information from contextual entities and the source entity itself, a masked entity model (MEM) task is combined with a link prediction task in model training.

  • Publication number: 20230114440
    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.

  • Patent number: 11619931
    Abstract: An interface integration method of AGV job automatic scheduling system and MES system includes an AGV job automatic scheduling system unit, an MES system unit and a data transmission and processing unit. The data transmission and processing unit performs interface integration through a data dictionary which includes multiple data sets. Based on the standardized data dictionary integration method, the relevant data in the manufacturing process in the factory are classified and stored in the above-mentioned multiple data sets, respectively, which can greatly reduce the non-standard customization characteristics of data that need to be mutually integrated when the interface of the MES system unit is integrated with the interface of the AGV job automatic scheduling system unit, thereby facilitating the seamless and standardized integration of the MES system and the AGV system in the manufacturing process in digital workshops or smart factories, and enabling interconnection and interoperability.

  • Publication number: 20230081624
    Abstract: A training technique trains a neural network having sparsely-activated sub-networks. It does so by processing plural batches of training data in two respective passes of the neural network, yielding first prediction information and second prediction information. For each batch, the technique randomly assigns different sub-networks in the first and second passes of the neural network to process the batch. Over the course of training, the technique attempts to minimize loss information, which describes the difference between the first prediction information and ground-truth information, and the difference between the second prediction information and the ground-truth information. Simultaneously, the technique attempts to minimize divergence information, which describes the divergence of the first prediction information from the second prediction information (and vice versa).

  • Publication number: 20230004588
    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.

  • Patent number: 11461415
    Abstract: A technique is described herein for processing a given query item in a latency-efficient and resource-efficient manner. The technique uses a first transformer-based encoder to transform the given query item into an encoded query item. In one case, the given query item is an expression that includes one or more query-expression linguistic tokens. The technique includes a second transformer-based encoder for transforming a given target item into an encoded target item. The given target item may likewise correspond to an expression that includes one or more target-expression linguistic tokens. A similarity-assessing mechanism then assesses the semantic similarity between the given query item and the given target item based on the encoded query item and the encoded target item. Each transformer-based encoder uses one or more self-attention mechanisms. The second transformer-based encoder can optionally perform its work in an offline manner, prior to receipt of the given query item.
