    Abstract: A system of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that synthesize middle non-existing frames from pairs of input frames includes a coarse CNN that receives a pair of images acquired at consecutive points of time, a registration module, a refinement CNN, an adder, and a motion-compensated frame interpolation (MC-FI) module. The coarse CNN outputs from the pair of images a previous feature map, a next feature map, a coarse interpolated motion vector field (IMVF) and an occlusion map, the registration module uses the coarse IMVF to warp the previous and next feature maps to be aligned with pixel locations of the IMVF frame, and outputs registered previous and next feature maps, the refinement CNN uses the registered previous and next feature maps to correct the coarse IMVF, and the adder sums the coarse IMVF with the correction and outputs a final IMVF.

Training of the neural network integrates a regularized pruning technique to systematically reduce a number of weights.

During deployment, the hardware accelerator can be programmed to power off periphery circuit elements that correspond to a pruned weight column line to optimize the hardware accelerator for power. Alternatively, before deployment, the hardware accelerator can be optimized for area by including a finite number of weight column line. Then, regularized pruning of the neural network selectively reduces the number of weights for consistency with the finite number of weight columns lines in the hardware accelerator.

    Abstract: An apparatus links an entity in a first knowledge-graph with a word in a text. The apparatus, based on a number of first-edges coupled to each of first-nodes serving as a transition-source and a number of second-edges coupled to each of second-nodes serving as a transition-destination in the first knowledge-graph, identifies a third-edge to be deleted from edges coupled to a third-node among the second-nodes which has a preset input-order indicating a number of edges that transition to the third-node, and generates a second knowledge-graph by deleting the third-edge from the first knowledge-graph. The apparatus couples first and second nodes which have been coupled to each other by the third-edge in the first knowledge-graph, via a fourth-node to which the first and second nodes are coupled by edges in the second knowledge-graph, and provides the word in the text and the entity linked with the word to a user.

  • Publication number: 20200356870
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to intelligently and dynamically controlling both changes made within EUC applications and the control rules associated with such changes. A similarity index is calculated/assigned for each data entry field (i.e., cell/intersection) and the controls implemented when a changes to data in the entry fields occurs is based on the similarity index. In other embodiments, a change to data entry fields dynamically prompts analysis of the change based on historical approval and/or denial patterns specific to the EUC application, the data entry field(s) and/or the user of the application. In response to the analysis the control rules may be dynamically updated, and applied to the current change. In other embodiments, inputs, such as reviewer's comments, are the basis for determining a need to update existing controls or add new controls associated with data entry field(s) and the conditions associated therewith are determined and applied.

Responsive to the new plan deviation alert, the method can perform a rule-based search to find a plurality of potential remediation solutions to correct the mismatch. The method can simulate implementation of the potential remediation solutions and evaluate expended resources associated with them. Based on the evaluated expended resources, the method can generate a ranked list of candidate remediation solutions and display the ranked list of candidate remediation solutions in a user interface. The method can receive a selected remediation solution from the ranked list of candidate remediation solutions for initiation. Machine learning can be used on an expert user's selection to adapt to the expert's preferences and provide more relevant remediation solutions.

    Abstract: A unified access layer (UAL) and scalable query engine receive queries from various interfaces and executes the queries with respect to non-heterogeneous data management and analytic computing platforms that are sources of record for data they store. Query performance is monitored and used to generate a query performance model. The query performance model may be used to generate alternatives for queries of users or groups of users or to generate policies for achieving a target performance. Performance may be improved by monitoring queries and retrieving catalog data for databases referenced and generating a recommendation model according to them. Duplicative or overlapping sources may be identified based on the monitoring and transformations to improve accuracy and security may be suggested. A recommendation model may be generated based on analysis of queries received through the UAL. Transformations may be performed according to the recommendation model in order to improve performance.
