  • Publication number: 20260143958
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for preparing a perovskite thin film and a perovskite cell. The perovskite cell includes a cell baseplate, a first electrode layer, a first carrier transport layer, a carrier transport passivation layer, a perovskite thin film, a second carrier transport layer, and a second electrode layer. In the present application, by adding a thickener into a perovskite inorganic salt solution, fluid characteristics of the perovskite inorganic salt solution can be effectively improved, resulting in a high-viscosity first inorganic substrate layer. The fluidity of the first inorganic substrate layer decreases as the temperature decreases, thereby enabling stable deposition and adhesion of the first inorganic substrate layer on a cell substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240419945
    Abstract: In various examples, techniques for accelerating inference in text and speech processing for conversational AI systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that use one or more techniques, such as token merging, in order to reduce a number of tokens processed by one or more machine learning models. For instance, the machine learning model(s) may process text and, based at least on the processing, generate scores (e.g., attention scores) indicating relationships between tokens associated with the text. The machine learning model(s) may then use the scores to merge at least one pair of the tokens. As described herein, the merging may reduce the overall number of tokens associated with the text while still maintaining the same semantic meaning as the original text. Next, the machine learning model(s) may process the reduce number of tokens in order to determine an output associated with the text.
