  • Publication number: 20240028893
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing sequence modeling tasks using insertions. One of the methods includes receiving a system input that includes one or more source elements from a source sequence and zero or more target elements from a target sequence, wherein each source element is selected from a vocabulary of source elements and wherein each target element is selected from a vocabulary of target elements; generating a partial concatenated sequence that includes the one or more source elements from the source sequence and the zero or more target elements from the target sequence, wherein the source and target elements arranged in the partial concatenated sequence according to a combined order; and generating a final concatenated sequence that includes a finalized source sequence and a finalized target sequence, wherein the finalized target sequence includes one or more target elements.

  • Patent number: 11681954
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing parallel generation of output from an autoregressive sequence to sequence model. In one aspect, a blockwise parallel decoding method takes advantage of the fact that some architectures can score sequences in sublinear time. By generating predictions for multiple time steps at once then backing off to a longest prefix validated by the scoring model, the methods can substantially improve the speed of greedy decoding without compromising performance.

  • Patent number: 11067364
    Abstract: A method of producing a rifle scope and a rifle scope including a conical objective bell, a main tube, and a connector. The objective bell is made of composite materials and increasing in diameter as the bell extends distally from its proximal to its distal end, with the proximal end being adjacent to the distal end of the main tube. The main tube, also constructed of composite materials, is a hollow cylinder. The connector is positioned about the distal end of the main tube with an exterior surface that conforms and is adhered to the interior surface of the proximal end of the objective bell and the interior surface of the distal end of the main tube, thereby joining together the objective bell and the main tube.

  • Patent number: 10958348
    Abstract: A method of making modular multi-function active optical cables (AOC) that enables multiple functions with minimal non-recurring engineering is described herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, one or more modular boards may be assembled into an assembly at a first end and a second end of the modular multi-function active optical cable, where each modular board may include at least a first connector. An electrical connector may be connected to the assembly using an interface to connect the electrical connector to the first connector associated with each module board. A hybrid cable assembly then may be connected between the assembly at the first end and the second, where the hybrid cable assembly includes one or more optical fibers and one or more electrical conductors.

  • Publication number: 20200082226
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing parallel generation of output from an autoregressive sequence to sequence model. In one aspect, a blockwise parallel decoding method takes advantage of the fact that some architectures can score sequences in sublinear time. By generating predictions for multiple time steps at once then backing off to a longest prefix validated by the scoring model, the methods can substantially improve the speed of greedy decoding without compromising performance.

  • Publication number: 20190329785
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain and a controller. The powertrain includes a powerplant. The controller is programmed to, responsive to a tip-in resulting in a powertrain torque direction reversal and upon obtaining a base value of a desired powertrain lash angle, adjust a powerplant torque schedule. The controller is then subsequently programmed to adjust the desired powertrain lash angle from the base to an adjusted value based on an observed powertrain lash angle that corresponds to a maximum powertrain acceleration during the tip-in.
