Abstract: An onboarding request is received from a user to utilize a recommendation service. The onboarding request contains personal data (including an onboarding user identifier and a serial number requesting a stated number of credits), encrypted with a commuting function C, along with clear text account details. A blind trust is established with the user, and the recommendation service signs the onboarding request with a signing function S and sends the signed onboarding request to the user to perform a blind onboarding of the user. A consumption request is then received (e.g., a call to get recommendations) from the user including a consumption user identifier and an approved credits document. The recommendation service can then update a user-item matrix that maps user identifiers with available items and transmit an item recommendation to the user, based on the user-item matrix, and expire the approved credits document by a consumption amount.

Abstract: Customization of deep learning models for accelerators of multiplication and accumulation operations. Based on a type of an accelerator to be used to implement the computation of an artificial neural network, a weight matrix of an artificial neural network can be adjusted, during training or via re-training, based on energy consumption characteristics of the type of accelerators. Patterns of weights that can consume more energy in computations implemented via the accelerator can be suppressed via penalizing by a loss function during training, or via pruning and re-training. The adjusted weight matrix can be configured in a computing device having an accelerator of the type. When the computing device performs computations of the artificial neural network using the weight matrix, the accelerator can be used to accelerate multiplication and accumulation operations involving the weight matrix.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating radio resources in a RAN deployment in an Enterprise Network. Radio resource parameter allocation decisions for all the Base Stations and Access Points (BS/APs) in the deployment are made responsive to network graphs formed using predicted path loss. In one embodiment the predicted path loss values are simulated for a particular enterprise network deployment, network graphs are formed using the path loss values, and radio resources parameters are allocated responsive to the network graphs. Advantageously, the network graphs provide the network with the ability to quickly and efficiently allocate radio resources, which can be automated. In the initial installation, this reduces cost and time. During operation, quick and efficient resource re-allocation provides quick adaptation to resource changes, an advantage that is useful particularly in the context of a CBRS system in which previously-available channels can be terminated.
