  • Publication number: 20210005183
    Abstract: A method for operating a neural network includes receiving an input sequence at an encoder. The input sequence is encoded to produce a set of hidden representations. Attention-heads of the neural network calculate attention weights based on the hidden representations. A context vector is calculated for each attention-head based on the attention weights and the hidden representations. Each of the context vectors correspond to a portion of the input sequence. An inference is output based on the context vectors.

  • Patent number: 10753800
    Abstract: A calibrator of an OES may include a cover, a reference light source and a controller. The cover may be detachably combined with a ceiling of a plasma chamber of a plasma processing apparatus. The reference light source may be installed at the cover to irradiate a reference light to the OES through an inner space of the plasma chamber. The controller may compare a spectrum of the reference light inputted into the OES with a spectrum of an actual light inputted into the OES during a plasma process in the plasma chamber to calibrate the OES. Thus, the OES may be calibrated without disassembling of the OES from the plasma chamber to decrease a time for calibrating the OES.
