Publication number: 20240152464Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in a main memory of the computer system. In one approach, data is stored in memory at one or more logical addresses allocated to an application by an operating system. The data is physically stored in a first memory device of a first memory type (e.g., NVRAM). The operating system determines an access pattern for the stored data. In response to determining the access pattern, the data is moved from the first memory device to a second memory device of a different memory type (e.g., DRAM).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Kenneth Marion Curewitz, Sean Stephen Eilert, Hongyu Wang, Samuel E.

Publication number: 20240154626Abstract: Neural Normalized MinSum (N-NMS) decoding for improving frame error rate (FER) performance on linear block codes over conventional normalized MinSum (NMS). Dynamic multiplicative weights are assigned to each check-to-variable message in each iteration to efficiently provide training parameters of N-NMS that support N-NMS for longer block lengths. Embodiment are described for neural two-dimensional normalized MinSum (N-2D-NMS) decoders requiring fewer training parameters. The N-2D-NMS approaches for example use the same weight for edges with the same check and/or variable node degree. Simulation results indicate that that this LDPC decoding performs similarly to previous techniques while substantially reducing the amount of training necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicants: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Richard D.

Patent number: 11972338Abstract: This application describes systems and methods for generating machine learning models (MLMs). An exemplary method includes obtaining a sample and user input data characterizing a product or service. A subset of the data is selected from the sample based on sampling the sample according to the user input data. An MLM is trained by applying the data subset as training input to the MLM, thereby providing a trained MLM to emulate a customer selection process unique to the product or service. A user interface (UI) configured to receive other user input data and cause the trained MLM to execute on the other user input data, thereby testing the trained MLM, is presented. A summary of results from the execution of the trained MLM is generated and presented in the UI. The summary of results indicates a contribution to the trained MLM of each of a plurality of features.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ZestFinance, Inc.Inventors: David Sheehan, Siavash Yasini, Bingjia Wang, Yunyan Zhang, Qiumeng Yu, Ruochen Zha, Adam Kleinman, Sean Javad Kamkar, Lingzhi Du, Saar Yalov, Jerome Louis Budzik

Publication number: 20240080564Abstract: Electronic devices, methods, and program storage devices for achieving smooth zooming operations during video capture are disclosed. In particular, smooth zooming may be desirable during video capture operations that involve a single image capture device and/or transitioning between two or more distinct image capture devices, e.g., having different optical and/or zooming properties, during the video capture. When video zooming is done abruptly, it can lead to an unpleasant user experience. The techniques described herein to improve the smoothness of zooming operations include: the use of longer zoom “ramps” for image capture devices; the “early” transitioning between image capture devices during video capture; and the performance of additional “digital zoom smoothing-aware” video image stabilization operations. The embodiments described herein also provide for a more consistent user experience between video streaming (i.e., “preview”) modes and the recorded (i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Buyue Zhang, Walker J.
