Publication number: 20220207376Abstract: Matrix inversion systems and methods are implemented using an analog resistive processing unit (RPU) array for hardware accelerated computing. A request is received from an application to compute an inverse matrix of a given matrix, and a matrix inversion process is performed in response to the received request. The matrix inversion process includes storing a first estimated inverse matrix of the given matrix in an array RPU cells, performing a first iterative process on the first estimated inverse matrix stored in the array of RPU cells to converge the first estimated inverse matrix to a second estimated inverse matrix of the given matrix, and reading the second estimated inverse matrix from the array of RPU cells upon completion of the first iterative process. An inverse matrix is returned to the application, wherein the returned inverse matrix is based, at least in part, on the second estimated inverse matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Tayfun Gokmen, Oguzhan Murat Onen, Chai Wah Wu, Mark S.

Publication number: 20220207241Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and explaining the temporal evolution of policies. The analysis of the temporal evolution of policies includes determining semantically related changes in the text of the corresponding policies over time and across the different versions of the (two or more) policy documents. An explanation of the temporal evolution of policies is provided consisting of human interpretable information relating each change to one or more events and/or contextual data. A next steps policy change is also suggested that includes a set of policy conditions based on potential future changes of similar policies and contextual data and event data. The suggestions are related to the policy relevant to the target cohort or individual. The system adapts machine learned models by receiving user feedback provided on an analysis of the correctness of the temporal evolution of policies, corresponding explanations and suggestions of the next actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Joao H Bettencourt-Silva, Natalia Mulligan, Marco Luca Sbodio, Vanessa Lopez Garcia
