Abstract

A battery pack may use an integrated temperature sensor to monitor a temperature of a battery cell during charging and discharging. However, if the integrated temperature sensor fails, a smart home device may continue to charge and discharge the battery outside of its approved temperature range. This may lead to both safety and performance concerns. To identify a failed integrated temperature sensor, the device may leverage any additional temperature sensors that are located in the device. These temperature sensors may be used to externally measure or estimate the battery temperature. If a sufficient deviation between the measurements of these external temperature sensors and the measurements from the integrated temperature sensor is detected, the device may use the comparison of these temperature measurements to determine that the integrated temperature sensor may be malfunctioning. The device may then change its operational state in response to maintain performance and safety.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides efficient communication techniques for transmission of model updates within a machine learning framework, such as, for example, a federated learning framework in which a high-quality centralized model is trained on training data distributed overt a large number of clients each with unreliable network connections and low computational power. In an example federated learning setting, in each of a plurality of rounds, each client independently updates the model based on its local data and communicates the updated model back to the server, where all the client-side updates are used to update a global model. The present disclosure provides systems and methods that reduce communication costs. In particular, the present disclosure provides at least: structured update approaches in which the model update is restricted to be small and sketched update approaches in which the model update is compressed before sending to the server.

Abstract

Systems and methods for performing inference for word or wordpiece tokenization are disclosed using a left-to-right longest-match-first greedy process. In some examples, the vocabulary may be organized into a trie structure in which each node includes a precomputed token or token_ID and a fail link, so that the tokenizer can parse the trie in a single pass to generate a list of only those tokens or token_IDs that correspond to the longest matching vocabulary entries in the sample string, without the need for backtracking. In some examples, the vocabulary may be organized into a trie in which each node has a fail link, and any node that would share token(s) or token_ID(s) of a preceding node is instead given a prev_match link that points back to a chain of nodes with those token(s) or token_ID(s).

Abstract

Techniques and devices for determining a central node for reporting sensor data are described for an electronic device that inserts ranges between nodes in the wireless network into a Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) and decodes the EDM to generate a global topology for the nodes in the wireless network. The electronic device sums, for each node in the wireless network, events detected by each node during a predetermined time period and performs a kernel density filtering of the sums of the detected events over a two-dimensional space of the global topology. The electronic device calculates a product of Gaussian distributions calculated during the kernel density filtering and selects the node that is spatially closest to a peak of the product of Gaussian distributions as the central node for event reporting.

Abstract

Implementations described herein relate to modifying depth of field in images using machine learning. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method for training a machine learning model includes generating an input training image that is a composition of multiple images captured in focus stacks at different lens focus positions and camera distances. A corresponding ground truth image is generated from merged images in particular focus stacks. A convolutional neural network (CNN) machine learning (ML) model receives the input training image and outputs an output image that adjusts blurriness in the input training image to simulate a target depth of field. The CNN ML model is updated based on comparison of the output image and the ground truth image. The CNN ML model can include a depth CNN that performs an implicit depth estimation for features of the input image, and a deconvolution CNN that adjusts the blurriness.

The computing system applies a second machine learning model to the transcript, the current timestamp, and the one or more noncurrent time stamps to rank, based on user data, the one or more noncurrent time stamps. The computing system then adjusts, based on the ranking of the one or more noncurrent timestamps, the playback position to a noncurrent timestamp from the one or more noncurrent timestamps.

Abstract

Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement two-stage thermal throttling. In some examples, two-stage thermal throttling of a mobile device is achieved using a main controller and an auxiliary controller. The auxiliary controller can be a proportional controller that monitors a temperature and a rate of change of the temperature of the mobile device during operations. When a first temperature threshold and a threshold rate of increase of the temperature are exceeded by the mobile device, the auxiliary controller can throttle a metric of the device to slow down the rate of increase of the temperature. After the temperature has exceeded a second temperature threshold, the auxiliary controller can hand off control to the main controller, which can further throttle the metric of the device or one or more additional metrics of the device.

Abstract

Methods and systems for hardware and software techniques for interleaving compute commands and input data write operations to a PiM module to optimize execution of in memory computations. A PiM compute module executes the interleaved commands to perform multiply and accumulate (MAC) operations using parameters read from a memory array and input data read from an input queue. A memory controller interleaves the commands and input data writes to the PIM module based on the duration of the MAC operations and/or a timing parameter for issuing write commands or for consuming data from the input queue. The memory controller can interleave different types of commands concurrent with interleaving the commands with the input data write operations. The interleaving operations are timed to maintain a threshold quantity of input data in the input queue to minimize (or prevent) data underflow or overflow during execution of the MAC operations.

Abstract

Offline calibration of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can determine biases in the motions measured by the IMU while it is not in use. The offline calibration uses an expected motion measurement based on a motionless IMU as a reference from which the biases can be computed for a temperature. The bias and the temperature can be stored in a thermal table that can be updated and expanded over multiple calibration sessions to include the biases for a range of temperatures. A model relating the biases to temperature may be created based on the thermal table. For example, a curve-fit equation relating the bias as a function of temperature may be computed based on the values in the thermal table.

Abstract

Techniques are described herein for progressive training of a machine learning network for name embedding. Embodiments seek to refine embedding models so that automated name detection, automated attention handling, and other similar features can be applied to active noise control systems in a manner that is robust to noise and competing speech. Embodiments begin by training a foundation model based on a name detection paradigm. Progressive training is used, based initially on the foundation model, to teach progressive machine learning networks to generate unified embeddings for each of multiple linguistic classes robustly in the presence of noise and/or competing speech. Those networks are ultimately used to train a robust name embedding (RNE) model to produce target outputs (e.g., classifications, acoustic segments, etc.) according to the name detection paradigm.

Abstract

Machine learning models that operate on images can exhibit significant increases in their cost to execute as the size (e.g., resolution, number of pixels) of the images increase. While it is possible to downsample input images and perform some or all of the model image processing in a lower-resolution space, followed by upsampling, the results of such operation have previously been poor. Embodiments are provided that overcome these limitations, resulting in decreased computational cost without decreasing output image quality. These benefits are obtained, in part, by combining pixels of an input image (e.g., by concatenation) into an effectively lower-resolution image space, performing computations thereon, and then de-concatenating or otherwise separating the combined pixels to generate an output image. TTiis can allow individual processor elements of a TPU to efficiently implement a machine learning model, thereby improving output image quality while limiting computational costs to those available even on resource-constrained platforms.

Abstract

Methods and devices are presented for transforming a layout of a densely packed grid of micro-LED light emitters to a layout of a square rectilinear pixel grid to achieve compatibility with hardware and software used in imaging and display technologies. In particular, a pattern of regular hexagonal emitter cells for fabrication on a III-nitride substrate can be transformed to a square pixel array of irregular hexagonal trichrome pixels that are readily addressable. Separation between adjacent trichrome pixels, and between their constituent emitters, can be established for overlay tolerance, while maintaining a cell packing density of about 70% and a pixel pitch of about 4.0 μm. Wavelength and quantum efficiency properties are shown to depend on optical current density, which can be determined by the emitter area specified in the grid layout.

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for detecting hazardous vehicle events and encouraging usage of driving optimized application features to mitigate occurrence of the hazardous vehicle events. The driving optimized application features can address unsafe driving events that are determined to be correlated with certain distracting application features. For example, an application of a computing device can determine that a user is occupying a vehicle and is driving toward a destination. While driving, data available to the application can indicate that an unsafe driving event, such as a hard braking event, has occurred while the user was interacting with another application. Thereafter, and based on this data, the application can render an output characterizing the correlation between the hard braking event and the other application, and/or provide the user with an option to interact with the other application via driving optimized feature(s).

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that address the need for adaptive exposure within high dynamic range (HDR) images. Solutions can leverage recent advances in the use of virtual reality (VR) headsets and Augmented Reality (AR) displays equipped with infrared (IR) eye tracking devices. A gaze vector determined by the eye tracking device identifies one or more fixation points on the image that corresponds to an area where there exists a faulty exposure. The exposure around the fixation point can be adaptively corrected using image processing techniques. Using spatial adaptive exposure, the resulting image, a type of foveated image, can be rendered on a low dynamic range (LDR) display with sufficient detail.

Abstract

Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to computing systems and methods for hand tracking using a machine-learned system for palm detection and key-point localization of hand landmarks. In particular, example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a multi-model hand tracking system that performs both palm detection and hand landmark detection. Given a sequence of image frames, for example, the hand tracking system can detect one or more palms depicted in each image frame. For each palm detected within an image frame, the machine-learned system can determine a plurality of hand landmark positions of a hand associated with the palm. The system can perform key-point localization to determine precise three-dimensional coordinates for the hand landmark positions. In this manner, the machine-learned system can accurately track a hand depicted in the sequence of images using the precise three-dimensional coordinates for the hand landmark positions.

Abstract

Complexity in entropy coding a partition type for a block in image and video coding is reduced by using a cardinality of symbols that is less than a cardinality of available partition types. A bitstream modification uses the block size, and optionally the location of the block relative to the frame boundaries, to select a probability table for entropy coding a variable representing the partition type. By allowing multiple variables to represent the partition types, instead of a single variable, multiple probability tables corresponding to the variables can be used that include fewer symbols.

Abstract

Systems and methods for training a restoration model can leverage training for two sub-tasks to train the restoration model to generate realistic and identity-preserved outputs. The systems and methods can balance the training of the generation task and the reconstruction task to ensure the generated outputs preserve the identity of the original subject while generating realistic outputs. The systems and methods can further leverage a feature quantization model and skip connections to improve the model output and overall training.

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for applying different visual transformations to sensitive user input based on input-device type. The described techniques distinguish between input sources and apply different, user-configurable, visual transformations based on the source of the input. In this way, user input from a hardware input device, which may provide tactile feedback, can be handled differently from input from a software input device, which may benefit from visual feedback. Such techniques can thereby improve security and usability when entering sensitive information, such as a password or an account number.

Abstract

Various implementations are directed towards fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) using search engine feedback (e.g., responsive content generated based on a reference source material such as a set of search engine results). Additionally or alternatively, a supervision signal can be generated based on comparing search engine conditioned LLM output with unconditioned LLM output. In many implementations, the supervision signal(s) can be used in training a reward model using reinforcement learning, where the trained reward model can be used in fine-tuning the LLM.

Abstract

This specification relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for multiply-accumulate (MAC) units having a unified architecture for performing both floating point MAC operations and integer MAC operations. An example method for performing a MAC operation with a MAC cell having a first unified adder and a second unified adder includes receiving floating point input operands including a first operand, a second operand, a third operand, and a fourth operand. The method further includes performing a pre-multiplication alignment process that aligns a mantissa of one or more of the floating point input operands based on comparing 1) a first sum of exponents of the first operand and the second operand, and 2) a second sum of exponents of the third operand and the fourth operand. The method further includes performing a first multiplication between aligned mantissas of the first operand and the second operand to generate a first mantissa product.

Abstract

Machine learning network topologies, and training systems and methods therefor, are described for implementing acoustic segmentation, such as for automated name detection. Such automated name detection can support automated attention handling in wearable audio components with active noise control (ANC) to suppress ambient sound. One technique for automated attention handling is based on acoustic segmentation, by which spoken audio of a class (i.e., a word) is converted into a sequence of acoustic segments representing the acoustic information of the class without speaker-specific suprasegmental features. Embodiments of network topologies for such acoustic segmentation include a Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) converter, a conformer-based encoder, an embedding layer, and a conformer-based decoder.

Abstract

A compound prediction block for a current block is obtained based on a weight mask, a first motion vector, and a second motion vector. The current block is partitioned into units based on a motion vector granularity. For each of the units, the first motion vector, the second motion vector, or both of the first motion vector and the second motion vector is stored in association with the each unit based on a respective portion of the weight mask that is co-extensive with each unit.
