Patent number: 11714657Abstract: A system includes a memory a processor. The processor is in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to receive an application, where the application was modified into a second configuration from a first configuration. Next, the processor determines differences in the application between the second configuration and the first configuration. A database is accessed, which includes a set of known potential modifications to the application and a set of patterns. The functionality of the known potential modifications is dependent on at least one of the set of patterns. The differences are analyzed to determine which of the set of patterns to include in the application, where the differences includes at least one of the set of known potential modifications in the application.

Publication number: 20230068394Abstract: A computer-implemented method of selecting a number format for use in configuring a hardware implementation of a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) for operation on a sequence of inputs. A received BRNN representation is implemented as a test neural network equivalent to the BRNN over a sequence of input tensors, each step of the test neural network being for operation on (a) an input tensor of the sequence, (b) a corresponding backward state tensor generated in respect of a subsequent input tensor of the sequence, and (c) a corresponding forward state tensor generated in respect of a preceding input tensor of the sequence. The test neural network includes a forward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the forward state tensors over the input tensors of the sequence; and a backward RNN for operation on the backward state tensors over the input tensors of the sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Biswarup Choudhury, Cagatay Dikici, Jason Rogers, Pedro Silva

Publication number: 20230031537Abstract: A method of implementing in hardware a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) for operation on a sequence of inputs, each step of the BRNN being for operation on (a) an input of the sequence, (b) corresponding backward state generated in respect of a subsequent input of the sequence, and (c) corresponding forward state generated in respect of a preceding input of the sequence. A representation of the BRNN is transformed into a derivative neural network equivalent to the BRNN over the sequence of inputs. The derivative neural network includes a forward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the forward state over the inputs of the sequence, and a backward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the backward state over the inputs of the sequence. The derivative neural network is implemented in hardware so as to perform the BRNN on the sequence of inputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Biswarup Choudhury, Cagatay Dikici, Jason Rogers, Pedro Silva

Publication number: 20210284576Abstract: The present invention is related to the process of obtaining CaO—MgO binders and construction products, with reuse of subproducts and/or residues and carbon dioxide, by compression molding (6). The binders are produced by crushing and grinding. The process of manufacturing the products consists of mixing binders and subproducts and/or residues with residual non-potable water (5), and curing this mixture with carbon dioxide (7), under constant humidity, temperature and pressure conditions. The process of hardening is carried out by recirculating carbon dioxide in a closed circuit, followed by drying of the products (12). The subproducts and/or residues contain calcium and magnesium and may be slag from the steel manufacturing industry or sand and mud resulting from the pulp, paper and cardboard production industry. The construction products may include other residues and materials containing silica and aluminum.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: João Paulo DE CASTRO GOMES, Pedro SILVA HUMBERT
