    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, relating to multi-task recurrent neural networks. One of the methods includes maintaining data specifying, for a recurrent neural network, a separate internal state for each of a plurality of memory regions; receiving a current input; identifying a particular memory region of the memory access address defined by the current input; selecting, from the internal states specified in the maintained data, the internal state for the particular memory region; processing, in accordance with the selected internal state for the particular memory region, the current input in the sequence of inputs using the recurrent neural network to: generate an output, the output defining a probability distribution of a predicted memory access address, and update the selected internal state of the particular memory region; and associating the updated selected internal state with the particular memory region in the maintained data.

  • Patent number: 12175351
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for pre-fetching data from memory using neural networks. One example system receives a sequence of prior program counter addresses of a computer program and corresponding delta values. The system creates an input representation based on the sequence. The system provides the input representation as input to a recurrent neural network. The system receives from the recurrent neural network an output that defines a probability distribution over future delta values. Each probability in the distribution represents a likelihood that execution of a future instruction of the computer program will cause data to be fetched from a particular future memory address.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a coupling nozzle for cryogenic fluid. A nozzle for cryogenic fluid includes a flow body, a flow control assembly, a first linear actuator, and a locking actuator. The flow body defines a conduit. The flow control assembly is at least partially disposed in the conduit of the flow body. The flow control assembly is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position to permit and prevent, respectively, the cryogenic fluid to flow through the flow body. The first linear actuator includes an actuator body and a first shaft. The first shaft is configured to slide between an extended position and a contracted position to transition the flow control assembly between the open position and the closed position, respectively. The locking actuator is for locking the nozzle to a receptacle in an automated manner.
