  • Publication number: 20220180180
    Abstract: A data-driven model compression technique is introduced that only targets to provide same accuracy as the original (not compressed) model in certain areas by reducing compression parameters. A compression engine relies on backpropagation to determine an extent of parameter value changes and designate certain parameters as key parameters. The model matrix is reshaped according to importance of each neuron. Only randomly generated parameter values of the reshaped parameter matrix are fine tuned to create a reliable compressed neural network model.

  • Patent number: 11281722
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating graph database parameter settings. Parameter settings for importing data into a graph database are determined. A speed of importing simulated data into the graph database and a system resource usage are determined by executing an importing of the simulated data using the parameter settings and a simulated hardware environment. A reward associated with the parameter settings is determined. Using a policy network that includes convolutional neural networks and based on the reward and the settings, candidates of adjusted parameter settings are determined. Using a Monte Carlo tree search in multiple iterations to estimate changes in speeds of importing the simulated data and changes in system resource usages for candidates of the adjusted parameter settings, rewards for the candidates are determined.

  • Publication number: 20220010675
    Abstract: A well log is scanned for one or more dimensions that describe one or more features of a well. Each dimension includes a plurality of values in a numerical format that represents each dimension. A missing value is detected in a first plurality of values of a first dimension of the well log. The first dimension of the well log is transformed, in response to the missing value, into a first image that visually depicts the first dimension including the first plurality of values and the missing value. Based on the first image and based on an image analysis algorithm a second image is created that visually depicts the first plurality of values and includes a found depiction visually depicting a found value in place of the missing value. The found depiction is converted, based on the second image, into a first value in the numerical format.

  • Patent number: 11222053
    Abstract: An approach is provided for searching multilingual documents. A first classification is determined that includes a first document and other document(s) by minimizing a first distance between a first numerical fixed length vector for the first document and other numerical fixed length vector(s) for other document(s). Based on a query and a natural language detected in the query, a second document is selected. A second stream modeling the second document is encoded as a second numerical fixed length vector. Based on a distance between the first and second numerical fixed length vectors being less than a threshold, the first classification is identified as including the second document. Documents in the first classification are ranked and presented as having content matching the second document's content. At least one of the ranked documents is expressed in a natural language different from the natural language of the second document.
