  • Patent number: 12353971
    Abstract: Techniques for machine learning (ML) model adaptation via segment replacement and student-teacher training are described. A model optimizer determines that a ML model sought to be deployed to an edge device includes a source segment that is not supported by the edge device. The model optimizer identifies a replacement segment that is equivalent to the source segment, constructs an adapted ML model by swapping in the replacement segment for the source segment, and trains the adapted ML model, optionally from the source ML model using a student-teacher training procedure. The trained adapted ML model is then deployed to the edge device, where it can be successfully run with minimal (if any) degradation of performance compared to the original source ML model.

  • Patent number: 11704577
    Abstract: Techniques for high-performance machine learning (ML) inference in heterogenous edge devices are described. A ML model trained using a variety of different frameworks is translated into a common format that is runnable by inferences engines of edge devices. The translated model is optimized in hardware-agnostic and/or hardware-specific ways to improve inference performance, and the optimized model is sent to the edge devices. The inference engine for any edge device can be accessed by a customer application using a same defined API, regardless of the hardware characteristics of the edge device or the original format of the ML model.

  • Patent number: 10990850
    Abstract: Techniques for machine learning (ML) model knowledge distillation and automatic retraining are described. A model adaptation controller obtains samples generated by an edge device and inference values generated based on the samples by a deployed ML model of the edge device. The model adaptation controller runs inference on the samples using a different ML model to generate inferences that can be used to determine whether the performance of the deployed ML model is lacking. If so, the model adaptation controller can retrain the deployed ML model using samples with ground truth values generated by the different ML model, resulting in a light-weight retrained model that can be provisioned to the edge device. This retraining process may be performed iteratively to automatically improve and adapt the ML model running at the edge device.

  • Patent number: 9131417
    Abstract: Example implementations are directed to systems and methods based on physical broadcast channel (PBCH) muting are utilized to avoid frequent cell selection/reselection and handover in a LTE-advanced heterogeneous network. In the example implementations, a pico eNB that is fully covered by a macro eNB or other pico eNBs transmits blank PBCH such that it is inaccessible to the UEs who perform cell selection/reselection. Furthermore, a macro eNB may handover a UE to the inaccessible pico eNB by signalling the necessary information to the UE to detect the inaccessible pico eNB. Frequent cell selection/reselection and handover may therefore be avoided in a dense deployment situation.
