Abstract: Neural network performance is improved in terms of training speed and/or accuracy by encoding (mapping) inputs to the neural network into a higher dimensional space via a hash function. The input comprises coordinates used to identify a point within a d-dimensional space (e.g., 3D space). The point is quantized and a set of vertex coordinates corresponding to the point are input to a hash function. For example, for d=3, space may be partitioned into axis-aligned voxels of identical size and vertex coordinates of a voxel containing the point are input to the hash function to produce a set of encoded coordinates. The set of encoded coordinates is used to lookup D-dimensional feature vectors in a table of size T that have been learned. The learned feature vectors are filtered (e.g., linearly interpolated, etc.) based on the coordinates of the point to compute a feature vector corresponding to the point.

Abstract: An inhaler vaporizer cartridge includes a housing body with a flow channel, a liquid storage tank, and a vaporizer unit. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and heating member and is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed from the tank through the vaporizer unit to the flow channel. The housing body has a cavity forming the tank and a wick member receiving chamber, and housing is divided by an intermediate wall and a flow channel section. An access opening from the receiving chamber to the flow channel is formed in the intermediate wall and covered by the heating member. Granular grains in the receiving chamber form the wick member and bear against the heating member. The grains form microchannels and are retained by a cover element. An access opening, covered with a liquid-permeable grid structure, establishes a liquid connection from the tank to receiving chamber in the intermediate wall.

Abstract: Data storage system conflict management techniques are described. In one example, data is sent by client devices to both a repository system and a search index system of a data storage system. Each of the client devices maintains, locally, records of changes to data of the repository system, e.g., through use of an invertible Bloom lookup table. The records are used as a basis by the client devices to send reports to an arbiter system and used to detect conflicts When detected, a conflict request is communicated to client devices involved in the conflict as well as to the repository system and responses used to generate a correction that is communicated to update the repository system and search index system.

Abstract: A frame lock for a two-wheeler comprises a lock body, which comprises a latch and a rotary hoop arrangement having a rotary hoop and a strip. The rotary hoop extends along a circular path, has a blocking structure comprising an abutment section, and is adjustable relative to the lock body along the circular path between an open position, in which the rotary hoop releases a wheel of the two-wheeler for a rotation, and a closed position in which the rotary hoop blocks the wheel against rotation. The latch is adjustable between an unlocked position and a locked position and, when the rotary hoop is in its closed position and the latch is in its locked position, the latch engages behind the abutment section, whereby it blocks the rotary hoop against an adjustment into the open position.

Abstract: A method for monitoring, evaluating and controlling a cyclic chromatographic purification process that involves at least two adsorbers. According to the method, one step is monitoring of the chromatogram, including the measurement of at least one current concentration-proportional signal in the liquid. Another step is conducting an evaluation of the chromatogram, including a comparison of at least one of the current concentration-proportional signals measured in the monitoring step with a threshold value thereof. A further step is controlling the chromatographic purification process by adapting the termination of the currently running phase as a function of the comparison of the evaluation step and initiating the next phase. Finally, according to the method, the sequence of steps is carried out in given order at least twice.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-training and fine-tuning of neural-network-based language models to reason directly over tables without generating logical forms. In some examples, a language model can be pre-trained using masked-language modeling tasks synthetically generated from tables pulled from a knowledge corpus. In some examples, the language model may be further pre-trained using pairs of counterfactual statements generated from those tables, and/or one or more statements that compare selected data from those tables. The language model may then be fine-tuned using examples that include only a question, an answer, and a table, allowing fine-tuning examples to be harvested directly from existing benchmark datasets or synthetically generated.

Abstract: A real-time neural radiance caching technique for path-traced global illumination is implemented using a neural network for caching scattered radiance components of global illumination. The neural (network) radiance cache handles fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the camera, lighting, geometry, and materials. In contrast with conventional caching, the data-driven approach sidesteps many difficulties of caching algorithms, such as locating, interpolating, and updating cache points. The neural radiance cache is trained via online learning during rendering. Advantages of the neural radiance cache are noise reduction and real-time performance. Importantly, the runtime overhead and memory footprint of the neural radiance cache are stable and independent of scene complexity.

Abstract: A fully-connected neural network may be configured for execution by a processor as a fully-fused neural network by limiting slow global memory accesses to reading and writing inputs to and outputs from the fully-connected neural network. The computational cost of fully-connected neural networks scale quadratically with its width, whereas its memory traffic scales linearly. Modern graphics processing units typically have much greater computational throughput compared with memory bandwidth, so that for narrow, fully-connected neural networks, the linear memory traffic is the bottleneck. The key to improving performance of the fully-connected neural network is to minimize traffic to slow “global” memory (off-chip memory and high-level caches) and to fully utilize fast on-chip memory (low-level caches, “shared” memory, and registers), which is achieved by the fully-fused approach.
