  • Data encoding and classification
    Patent number: 10977558
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for training a computer system for use in classification of an image by processing image data representing the image, image data are compressed and then loaded into a programmable quantum annealing device that includes a Restricted Boltzmann Machine. The Restricted Boltzmann Machine is trained to act as a classifier of image data, thereby providing a trained Restricted Boltzmann Machine; and, the trained Restricted Boltzmann Machine is used to initialize a neural network for image classification thereby providing a trained computer system for use in classification of an image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 13, 2021
    Assignee: Siemens Healthcare GmbH
    Inventors: Mark Herbster, Peter Mountney, Sebastien Piat, Simone Severini
