    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a graph model representing an environment being interacted with by an agent. In one aspect, one of the methods include: obtaining experience data; using the experience data to update a visitation count for each of one or more state-action pairs represented by the graph model; and at each of multiple environment exploration steps: computing a utility measure for each of the one or more state-action pairs represented by the graph model; determining, based on the utility measures, a sequence of one or more planned actions that have an information gain that satisfies a threshold; and controlling the agent to perform the sequence of one or more planned actions to cause the environment to transition from a state characterized by a last observation received after a last action in the experience data into a different state.

    摘要: A method, performed on at least one computing device, of determining solutions to a number of linear matrix equations satisfying A{right arrow over (x)}={right arrow over (b)}, where A is a n×n matrix, {right arrow over (x)} is a column vector with n entries, and {right arrow over (b)} is a column vector with n entries, is disclosed. The method comprises determining a linear combination of unitary matrices that is equivalent to the matrix A; based on the linear combination of unitary matrices, determining a column vector {right arrow over (x)} that satisfies the linear matrix equation; forming an updated matrix A based on the obtained column vector {right arrow over (x)}; forming an updated column vector {right arrow over (b)} based on the obtained column vector {right arrow over (x)}; updating the coefficients of the linear combination of unitary matrices based on the updated column vector {right arrow over (x)}; and based on the updated linear combination of unitary matrices, determining an updated column vector {right arrow over (x)} that satisfies the updated linear matrix equation.

    摘要: An analog computing system with coupled non-linear oscillators can solve complex combinatorial optimization problems using the weighted Ising model. The system is composed of a fully-connected LC oscillator network with low-cost electronic components and compatible with traditional integrated circuit technologies. Each LC oscillator, or node, in the network can be coupled to each other node in the array with a multiply and accumulate crossbar array or optical interconnects. When implemented with four nodes, the system performs with single-run ground state accuracies of 98% on randomized MAX-CUT problem sets with binary weights and 84% with five-bit weight resolutions. The four-node system can obtain solutions within five oscillator cycles with a time-to-solution that scales directly with oscillator frequency. A scaling analysis suggests that larger coupled oscillator networks may be used to solve computationally intensive problems faster and more efficiently than conventional algorithms.

    摘要: An optimal solution calculation device for an optimization problem includes an initial condition generation unit for generating an executable initial solution and an equality constraint set with respect to an optimization problem, an optimization calculation unit for calculating a solution of a simultaneous linear equation generated from an evaluation function and for calculating an evaluated solution that is a solution to minimize or maximize the evaluation function, and an update unit. A convergence determination unit of the optimization calculation unit determines that an iterative solution has converged when a residual norm is equal to or less than a convergence determination threshold value, and outputs the converged iterative solution as the evaluated solution. The update unit determines the evaluated solution as an optimal solution when an update of the equality constraint set is determined to be unnecessary, and the convergence determination threshold value is the first threshold value.

    摘要: A method for processing image data having noise and information, including: acquiring input raw image data having pixels of an image sensor used to take the image data, processing the input data, and outputting processed image-output data. The step of acquiring input data includes acquiring an input-noise model from the input data, and the step of processing the input raw image data includes a preprocessing operation and determining an output-noise model adapted to reflect noise in the output data, and producing output raw-image data consistent with the output-noise model, and the step of outputting the processed image data includes storing and/or transmitting the output raw image data and the output-noise model, which together form the output data, in a manner linking the output raw image data to the output-noise model, thereby allowing processing of the output data, as input data, such that the processing is adapted for pipeline processing.
