  • Patent number: 11330023
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for Embodiments described herein provide for the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and/or other techniques for network-implemented spam call detection. Calls may be screened prior to notifying a called User Equipment (“UE”) that a call has been placed to the called UE. A Machine Learning Spam Detection Component (“MLSDC”) may screen a call, such as a voice call, by initiating a call session between the MLSDC and a calling UE, from which the call was requested. Via the established call session, the MLSDC may receive communications, such as voice communications, from the UE, and may determine a measure of likelihood that the call request is associated with spam by using machine learning or other techniques to compare the received communications against one or more models that indicate attributes of calls that have been identified as spam.

  • Publication number: 20220138064
    Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method, which are adapted for a memory having a faulty bit, are provided. The memory is configured to store data related to an image, a weight for a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation of image feature extraction, and/or a value for an activation operation. Sequence data is written into the memory. The bit number of the sequence data equals to the bit number used for storing data in a sequence block of the memory. The sequence data is accessed from the memory, wherein the access of the faulty bit in the memory is ignored. The value of the faulty bit is replaced by the value of a non-faulty bit in the memory to form new sequence data. The new sequence data is used for MAC. Accordingly, the accuracy of image recognition can be improved for the faulty memory.
