One or more such synthetic training instances can be added to the augmented training data set and the system is then re-trained on the augmented training data set.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Pinkesh Badjatiya, Nikaash Puri, Ayush Chopra, Anubha Kabra

Patent number: 11907817Abstract: A simulation test is run on a first machine learning model trained using first training data historically collected over a time period. The first training data includes a set of training inputs and a set of target outputs. In response to a determination that a result of the simulation test run on the first machine learning model satisfies one or more criteria, a size of the set of target outputs of the first training data is determined. Second training data for training a second machine learning model is obtained. A size of a set of target outputs of the second training data meets or exceeds the size of the target outputs of the first training data. The second machine learning model is trained using the second training data.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Chetan Pitambar Bhole, Tanmay Khirwadkar, Sourabh Prakash Bansod, Sanjay Mangla, Deepak Ramamurthi Sivaramapuram Chandrasekaran

Patent number: 11907818Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods that learn a compressed representation of a machine-learned model (e.g., neural network) via representation of the model parameters within a reparameterization space during training of the model. In particular, the present disclosure describes an end-to-end model weight compression approach that employs a latent-variable data compression method. The model parameters (e.g., weights and biases) are represented in a “latent” or “reparameterization” space, amounting to a reparameterization. In some implementations, this space can be equipped with a learned probability model, which is used first to impose an entropy penalty on the parameter representation during training, and second to compress the representation using arithmetic coding after training. The proposed approach can thus maximize accuracy and model compressibility jointly, in an end-to-end fashion, with the rate-error trade-off specified by a hyperparameter.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Deniz Oktay, Saurabh Singh, Johannes Balle, Abhinav Shrivistava

Patent number: 11907820Abstract: Techniques are provided for improving computers as tools for assisting in negotiations. Specifically, techniques are provided for using a trained machine learning system to predict the likelihood that a party to a negotiation intends to comply with terms that are under consideration. In some negotiations, each party of a negotiation may use the techniques described herein to determine terms to offer the other party. In such situations, both parties may be both terms-receiving parties and terms-offering parties. By using a trained machine learning system to predict the intent of a party, the possibility of human bias significantly reduced, allowing proposed terms to be based more on objective facts and predictive indicators rather than the prejudices of the agents that have been delegated the responsibility of proposing terms.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: LendingClub CorporationInventor: Ramaswamy Alagianambi
