  • Patent number: 11934755
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products leveraging digital twin modeling and cognitive computing to predict lubrication replacement for a physical asset. Predictions of lubrication replacement consider one or more various parameters such as operating conditions, usage parameters, the surrounding environment, overall health and state of repair of the physical asset, lubricant properties and historically collected data from the physical asset (or similarly comparable assets). Timing for optimal lubrication replacement is identified using the collected data of the physical asset, along with historical data, to simulate changes in a state of lubricants and lubricated parts within a physical asset using digital twin modeling to make predictions how one or more actions upon the physical asset impact the health, stability and/or longevity of the lubricant's lifespan.

  • Patent number: 11934762
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed are generally related to masklessly developing connections between a chip-group and a design connection point on a substrate. In placement of the chip-group on the substrate, according to certain embodiments the chip-group may be dispositioned relative to an expected position per a substrate layout design, causing a connection misalignment with the design connection point. According to certain embodiments, a machine learning (ML) model is trained on historical and simulated pixel models of chip-group connections and design connection points. Upon determining the chip-group misalignment by a metrology measurement, the trained ML model determines a pixel model to connect the misaligned chip-group, and causes the pixel model to be exposed to a substrate with a digital lithography tool, thereby connecting the dispositioned chip-group to the design connection point.

  • Patent number: 11934791
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides projection neural networks and example applications thereof. In particular, the present disclosure provides a number of different architectures for projection neural networks, including two example architectures which can be referred to as: Self-Governing Neural Networks (SGNNs) and Projection Sequence Networks (ProSeqoNets). Each projection neural network can include one or more projection layers that project an input into a different space. For example, each projection layer can use a set of projection functions to project the input into a bit-space, thereby greatly reducing the dimensionality of the input and enabling computation with lower resource usage. As such, the projection neural networks provided herein are highly useful for on-device inference in resource-constrained devices. For example, the provided SGNN and ProSeqoNet architectures are particularly beneficial for on-device inference such as, for example, solving natural language understanding tasks on-device.

  • Patent number: 11934792
    Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for identifying prompts used for training of inference models are provided. In some examples, a specific textual prompt in a natural language may be received. Further, data based on at least one parameter of an inference model may be accessed. The inference model may be a result of training a machine learning model using a plurality of training examples. Each training example of the plurality of training examples may include a respective textual content and a respective media content. The data and the specific textual prompt may be analyzed to determine a likelihood that the specific textual prompt is included in at least one training example of the plurality of training examples. A digital signal indicative of the likelihood that the specific textual prompt is included in at least one training example of the plurality of training examples may be generated.

  • Patent number: 11934795
    Abstract: A target set of texts, for training and/or evaluating a text classification model, is augmented using insertions into a base text within the original target set. In an embodiment, an expanded text, including the base text and an insertion word, must satisfy one or more inclusion criteria in order to be added to the target set. The inclusion criteria may require that the expanded text constitutes a successful attack on the classification model, the expanded text has a satisfactory perplexity score, and/or the expanded text is verified as being valid. In an embodiment, if a number of expanded texts added into the target set is below a threshold number, insertions are made into an expanded text (which was generated based on the base text). Inclusion criteria are evaluated against the doubly-expanded text to determine whether to add the doubly-expanded text to the target set.

  • Patent number: 11934796
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein can generate a voice-based interface to increase the accuracy of translations. The voice-based interface can result in fewer input audio signals being transmitted between devices of a network. A method includes: receiving a first input audio signal; generating, based on the first input audio signal, a first translation string in a second language and a second translation string in a first language; determining a first translation score based on a likelihood that the first input audio signal includes an utterance in the first language and a second translation score based on a likelihood that the first input audio signal includes an utterance in the second language; selecting the first translation string based on the first translation score and the second translation score; generating an output signal from the first translation string; and transmitting the output signal to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11934799
    Abstract: Combinatorial logic circuits with feedback, which include at least two combinatorial logic elements, are disclosed. At least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an external input (i.e., from outside the circuit), at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is feedback of the circuit output, and at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is neither an external input nor an output of the circuit but rather is from another of the combinatorial logic elements and thus only “implicit” to the circuit. No staticizers are needed; the logic circuits effectively create implicit equations to perform functions that were previously thought to require sequential logic. The combinatorial logic circuits result in a stable output (in some instances after a brief period of time) due to the implicit equations, rather than achieving stability from an explicit expression of some input to the circuit.

  • Patent number: 11934801
    Abstract: Embodiments use a multi-modal approach to generate software programs that match a solution program description. The solution program description may include natural language, input-output examples, partial source code, desired operators, or other hints. Some embodiments use optimized prompts to a pre-trained language model to obtain initial candidate programs. Maximal program components are extracted and then recombined variously using component-based synthesis. Beam search reduces a solution program search space by discarding some candidates from a given synthesis iteration. Relevance metrics, string similarity metrics, operator frequency distributions, token rareness scores, and other optimizations may be employed. By virtue of optimizations and the multi-modal approach, a solution program may be obtained after fewer iterations than by use of a language model alone.

  • Patent number: 11934805
    Abstract: A system may receive a request from a user to build a custom application specific to an operating system (OS) platform. The system may include an application gateway and the custom application may be a user-customized variation of an application gateway client. The system may prepare a build request and send it to a bonding client running on a work station specific to the OS platform. The bonding client may execute build scripts with user-provided configuration information to create the custom application. Instead of submitting the custom application to a third-party digital distribution platform, the bonding client may store the custom application in a storage location accessible by the system. The system, responsive to the request from the user, may send a response to the computing device, the response containing a link to the storage location of the custom application.
