  • Patent number: 12596930
    Abstract: An embodiment includes training a first convolutional neural network (CNN) using a plurality of training images to generate first and second trained CNNs, and then adding an interface layer to the second trained CNN. The embodiment processes a first and second images in a sequence of images using the first trained CNN to generate a first and second result vectors. The embodiment also processes the second image using the second trained CNN and sensor data input to the interface layer to generate a third result vector. The embodiment modifies the sensor data using a compensation value. The embodiment compares the third result vector to the second result vector to generate an error value, and then calculates a modified compensation value using the error value. The embodiment then generates a sensor-compensated trained CNN based on the second trained CNN with the modified compensation value.

  • Patent number: 12585933
    Abstract: A pretrained model is selected to operate in an augmented model configuration with a submodel. The submodel is trained using training data corresponding to a second domain, whereas the pretrained model is trained to operate on data of a first domain. The pretrained model is augmented, to form the augmented model configuration, with the submodel, by combining a first feature map being output from a layer in the pretrained model with a second feature map being output from a layer in the submodel. The combining forms a combined feature map. The combined feature map is input into a different layer in the submodel.

  • Publication number: 20250037018
    Abstract: The subject technology provides memory-efficient differentiable weight clustering for large language model compression. An apparatus determines a tensor including an attention map between learned weights of a trained machine learning model and corresponding centroids. The apparatus also determines a compressed attention table and a plurality of index lists during compression of the trained machine learning model based on an uniquification of the attention map and sharding of an associated index list. The apparatus determines whether the tensor exists at a destination device during compression of the trained machine learning model using a marshaling layer. The apparatus refrains from copying the tensor to the destination device when the tensor exists at the destination device, or copies the tensor to the destination device when the tensor does not exist at the destination device. The apparatus deploys a compressed machine learning model based on the compression of the trained machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 12039439
    Abstract: An overall gradient vector is computed at a server from a set of ISA vectors corresponding to a set of worker machines. An ISA vector of a worker machine including ISA instructions corresponding to a set of gradients, each gradient corresponding to a weight of a node of a neural network being distributedly trained in the worker machine. A set of register values is optimized for use in an approximation computation with an opcode to produce an x-th approximate gradient of an x-th gradient. A server ISA vector is constructed in which a server ISA instruction in an x-th position corresponds to the x-th gradient in the overall gradient vector. A processor at the worker machine is caused to update a set of weights of the neural network, using the set of optimized register values and the server ISA vector, thereby completing one iteration of training.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method generates a hamming code based target label for each class of a dataset in which hamming distance between the target labels in the dataset is maximized and trains a convolutional neural network with the hamming codes based target label to thereby produce a trained AI model. The confusability between classes of the dataset is determined using a confusion matrix. The hamming distances of classes of the dataset that are determined to be more confusable are set to higher values than the hamming distances of classes of the dataset that are determined to be less confusable.
