  • Patent number: 12597238
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a system can: access a failure image on which a first model has inaccurately performed an inferencing task; train, on a set of dummy images, a second model to learn a visual variety of the failure image, based on a loss function having a first term and a second term, the first term quantifying visual content dissimilarities between the set of dummy images and outputs predicted during training by the second model, and the second term quantifying, at a plurality of different image scales, visual variety dissimilarities between the failure image and the outputs predicted during training by the second model; and execute the second model on each of a set of training images on which the first model was trained, thereby yielding a set of first converted training images that exhibit the visual variety of the failure image.

  • Patent number: 12500070
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to carriers for supporting one or more substrate as the substrates are passed through a processing apparatus. In many cases, the substrates are oriented in a vertical manner. The carrier may include a frame and vertical support bars that secure the glass to the frame. The carrier may lack horizontal support bars. The carrier may allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the substrates, without any need to provide precise gaps between adjacent pairs of substrates. The carriers described herein substantially reduce the risk of breaking the processing apparatus and substrates, thereby achieving a more efficient process. Certain embodiments herein relate to methods of loading substrates onto a carrier.

  • Publication number: 20240346291
    Abstract: Techniques are described for multi-task neural network model design using task crystallization are described. In one example a task crystallization method comprises adding one or more task-specific channels to a backbone neural network adapted to perform a primary inferencing task to generate a multi-task neural network model, wherein the adding comprises adding task-specific elements to different layers of the backbone neural network for each channel of the one or more task-specific channels. The method further comprises training, by the system, the one or more task-specific channels to perform one or more additional inferencing tasks that are respectively different from one another and the primary inferencing task, comprising separately tuning and crystallizing the task-specific elements of each channel of the one or more task-specific channels.

  • Publication number: 20220277195
    Abstract: Techniques regarding autonomous data augmentation are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can regard a system comprising a memory that can store computer-executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components stored in the memory. The computer-executable components can include a data augmentation component that executes a random unidimensional augmentation algorithm to augment a dataset for training a machine learning model via a plurality of augmentation operations. The random unidimensional augmentation algorithm can employ a global augmentation parameter that defines: a distortion magnitude associated with the plurality of augmentation operations, and a number of augmentation operations included in the plurality of augmentation operations.
