  • Patent number: 11915500
    Abstract: A system uses a neural network based model to perform scene text recognition. The system achieves high accuracy of prediction of text from scenes based on a neural network architecture that uses double attention mechanism. The neural network based model includes a convolutional neural network component that outputs a set of visual features and an attention extractor neural network component that determines attention scores based on the visual features. The visual features and the attention scores are combined to generate mixed features that are provided as input to a character recognizer component that determines a second attention score and recognizes the characters based on the second attention score. The system trains the neural network based model by adjusting the neural network parameters to minimize a multi-class gradient harmonizing mechanism (GHM) loss. The multi-class GHM loss varies based on a level of difficulty of the sample.

  • Publication number: 20240051701
    Abstract: The present application provides a cap assembly and a bottle assembly. The cap assembly includes a cap, an inner cylinder assembly, an elastic member and a blocking member. The cap includes a cap top and a cap side portion. The cap side portion is formed by extending downwardly from an outer edge of the cap top, and the cap top and the cap side portion define a cap cavity. The inner cylinder assembly is connected to the cap top, is arranged in the cap cavity, and forms an annular receiving portion with the cap side portion. The elastic member is arranged in the receiving portion. The blocking member is arranged in the receiving portion below the elastic member. The cap is provided with at least one locking portion for preventing the elastic member and the blocking member from falling from the receiving portion.

  • Publication number: 20230236733
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data loading method. The method comprises: reading data from an initial address in a memory; obtaining a frame header identifier, loading a valid data segment comprising the frame header identifier; verifying the valid data segment; when it is determined that the verification is successful, sending at least part of information within the valid data segment to a cache unit; updating a register according to at least part of the information by the cache unit. Using a specific frame header identifier, loading data in the memory starts only from the specific frame header identifier, which skips the data before the frame header identifier and avoids loading invalid data in the cache unit, thus saving time, preventing lengthy program, and being more scientific and convenient.

  • Publication number: 20220269946
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a contrastive learning mechanism with self-labeling refinement, which iteratively employs the network and data themselves to generate more accurate and informative soft labels for contrastive learning. Specifically, the contrastive learning framework includes a self-labeling refinery module to explicitly generate accurate labels, and a momentum mix-up module to increase similarity between a query and its positive, which in turn implicitly improves label accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20210383188
    Abstract: A method for generating a neural network, including initializing the neural network including a plurality of cells, each cell corresponding to a graph including one or more nodes, each node corresponding to a latent representation of a dataset. A plurality of gates are generated, wherein each gate independently determines whether an operation between two nodes is used. A first regularization is performed using the plurality of gates. The first regularization is one of a group-structured sparsity regularization and a path-depth-wised regularization. An optimization is performed on the neural network by adjusting its network parameters and gate parameters based on the regularization of the sparsity.
