  • Publication number: 20240095435
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for circuit design automation. The method identifies a set of circuit components for a proposed circuit design. A subset of circuit components is selected to generate an initial topology for the proposed circuit design. A set of subsequent topologies are iteratively generated by a heuristic search algorithm based on the subset of circuit components and the initial topology. A set of valid topologies of the set of subsequent topologies are determined by a circuit simulator based on the subset of circuit components and a set of connections within the set of subsequent topologies. The method generates the proposed circuit design from the set of valid topologies.

  • Patent number: 11790181
    Abstract: A current observation expressed in natural language is received. Entities in the current observation are extracted. A relevant historical observation is retrieved, which has at least one of the entities in common with the current observation. The current observation and the relevant historical observation are combined as observations. The observations and a template list specifying a list of verb phrases to be filled-in with at least some of the entities are input to a neural network, which can output the template list of the verb phrases filled-in with said at least some of the entities. The neural network can include attention mechanism. A reward associated with the neural network's output can be received and fed back to the neural network for retraining the neural network.

  • Patent number: 11663823
    Abstract: Dual-modality relation networks for audio-visual event localization can be provided. A video feed for audio-visual event localization can be received. Based on a combination of extracted audio features and video features of the video feed, informative features and regions in the video feed can be determined by running a first neural network. Based on the informative features and regions in the video feed determined by the first neural network, relation-aware video features can be determined by running a second neural network. Based on the informative features and regions in the video feed, relation-aware audio features can be determined by running a third neural network. A dual-modality representation can be obtained based on the relation-aware video features and the relation-aware audio features by running a fourth neural network. The dual-modality representation can be input to a classifier to identity an audio-visual event in the video feed.

  • Patent number: 11645526
    Abstract: A method and a system for learning and applying neuro-symbolic multi-hop rules are provided. The method includes inputting training texts into a neural network as well as pre-defined entities. The training texts and the entities relate to a specific domain. The method also includes generating an entity graph made up of nodes and edges. The nodes represent the pre-defined entities, and the edges represent passages in the training texts with co-occurrence of the entities connected together by the edges. The method further includes determining a relation based on the passages for each of the pre-defined entities connected together by the edges, calculating a probability relating to the relation, generating a potential reasoning path between a head entity and a target entity. The method also includes learning a neuro-symbolic rule by converting the edges along the potential reasoning path into symbolic rules and combining those rules into the neuro-symbolic rule.

  • Patent number: 11455335
    Abstract: A search engine is modified to perform increasingly precise image searching using iterative Natural Language (NL) interactions. From an NL search input, the modification extracts a set of input features, which includes a set of response features corresponding to an NL statement in the NL search input and a set of image features from a seed image in the NL search input. The modification performs image analysis on an image result in a result set of a query including at least some of the input features. In a next iteration of NL interactions, at least some of the result set is provided. An NL response in the iteration is added to a cumulative NL basis, and a revised result set is provided, which includes a new image result corresponding to a new response feature extracted from the cumulative NL basis.
