  • Patent number: 12216640
    Abstract: Displaying visual indications of one or more files that are associated with a file being viewed via an augmented reality headset may be facilitated. In some embodiments, an image of a file being viewed by a user may be received. The system may determine whether a file is associated with a first error indicating an inconsistency between the file and one or more other files related to the file. Based on determining that the file is associated with the first error, the system may retrieve, based on one or more file identifiers corresponding to the one or more other files, one or more other files associated with the inconsistency. The system may then generate for display (i) a visual indicator indicating the first error and (ii) one or more visual indications of the one or more other files associated with the inconsistency.

  • Patent number: 12124779
    Abstract: A method of construction of a feedforward neural network includes a step of initialization of a neural network according to an initial topology, and at least one topological optimization phase, of which each phase includes: an additive phase including a modification of the network topology by adding at least one node and/or a connection link between the input of a node of a layer and the output of a node of any one of the preceding layers, and/or a subtractive phase including a modification of the network topology by removing at least one node and/or a connection link between two layers. Each topology modification includes the selection of a topology modification among several candidate modifications, based on an estimation of the variation in the network error between the previous topology and each topology modified according to a candidate modification.

  • Patent number: 12124960
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a learning apparatus and a learning method capable of appropriately learning pieces of data that belong to the same category and are acquired under different conditions. In a learning apparatus according a first aspect of the present invention, first data and second data are respectively input to a first input layer and a second input layer that are independent of each other, and feature quantities are calculated. Thus, the feature quantity calculation in one of the first and second input layers is not affected by the feature quantity calculation in the other input layer. In addition to feature extraction performed in the input layers, each of a first intermediate feature quantity calculation process and a second intermediate feature quantity calculation process is performed at least once in an intermediate layer that is shared by the first and second input layers.

  • Patent number: 12118056
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing matrix transforms within a memory fabric. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to converting a memory array into a matrix fabric for matrix transformations and performing matrix operations therein. Exemplary embodiments described herein perform matrix transformations within a memory device that includes a matrix fabric and matrix multiplication unit (MMU). In one exemplary embodiment, the matrix fabric uses a “crossbar” construction of resistive elements. Each resistive element stores a level of impedance that represents the corresponding matrix coefficient value. The crossbar connectivity can be driven with an electrical signal representing the input vector as an analog voltage. The resulting signals can be converted from analog voltages to a digital values by an MMU to yield a vector-matrix product. In some cases, the MMU may additionally perform various other logical operations within the digital domain.
