Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for learning in response to temporally-proximate features. In one implementation, an image processing apparatus utilizes bi-modal spike timing dependent plasticity in a spiking neuron network. Based on a response by the neuron to a frame of input, the bi-modal plasticity mechanism is used to depress synaptic connections delivering the present input frame and to potentiate synaptic connections delivering previous and/or subsequent frames of input. The depression of near-contemporaneous input prevents the creation of a positive feedback loop and provides a mechanism for network response normalization.
Abstract:
Packet format configurability is extended for packets transported on physical links of an Intellectual Property (IP) core interconnect by using at least two independent parameters: one parameter governing data-width and one parameter governing latency penalty. The at least two independent parameters allow creation of transport protocol packets without additional latency insertion, which is useful for low-latency applications. The at least two independent parameters also allow creation of narrow packets with multi-cycle additional latency, which is useful for latency tolerant, area sensitive applications.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product for selecting qualifying frames from an image sequence for use in subsequent stitching into a composite panoramic image are disclosed. Incoming frames from any source may be cropped and downscaled prior to evaluation against qualifying criteria relating to image overlap and local motion. Qualifying images are saved and/or output. The resulting panoramic image generally uses fewer qualifying images and appears smoother and has fewer artifacts than those of the prior art. The qualifying criterion for image overlap is a predetermined overlap margin or percentage between a current image and a previous image from the sequence. The qualifying criterion for image motion includes a maximum amount of local motion, often due to passing objects. The embodiments may process incoming images in real time or from stored sequences. Problems may trigger user warnings.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for efficiently adapting a machine learning model from a base task to a downstream task based on frozen matrices. An example method generally includes receiving an input for processing through a layer of a neural network. An output of the layer of the neural network is generated based on a first product, the first product being based on a first trainable scaling vector, a first frozen matrix, a second trainable scaling vector, a second frozen matrix, and the received input.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are described for providing iterative policy-guided program synthesis. For example, a device may generate, based on a policy that receives input-output data of one or more tasks as input, a first set of programs, add the first set of programs and the input-output data to the training dataset to generate an updated training dataset, train the policy based on the first set of programs and the input-output data to generate an updated policy, identify, based on the updated policy, a second set of programs for second input-output data for a second set of tasks, add the second set of programs and second input-output data to the updated training dataset to generate a second updated training dataset; and train the updated policy based on the second set of programs and the second input-output data to generate a second updated policy.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for improved machine learning. A set of training data is accessed, and a transformation group comprising a plurality of group elements is determined. A set of unconstrained weights for a layer of the machine learning model is generated based on the set of training data. A set of parameter values for a likelihood function for the layer is generated based on the set of training data. A set of constrained weights is generated, based at least in part on the likelihood function and the set of unconstrained weights, such that the set of constrained weights is equivariant with respect to at least a subset of the plurality of group elements.
Abstract:
A processor-implemented method for causal representation learning of temporal effects includes receiving, via an artificial neural network (ANN), temporal sequence data for high-dimensional observations. The ANN generates a latent representation based on latent variables for the temporal sequence data. The latent variables of the temporal sequence data are assigned to causal variables. The ANN determines a representation of causal factors for each dimension of the temporal sequence databased on the assignment.

Abstract:
A method for classifying a human-object interaction includes identifying a human-object interaction in the input. Context features of the input are identified. Each identified context feature is compared with the identified human-object interaction. An importance of the identified context feature is determined for the identified human-object interaction. The context feature is fused with the identified human-object interaction when the importance is greater than a threshold.
