Abstract:
A method performed by a computing device includes determining a partition for depth-first processing by a multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) of the computing device. The computing device comprising a processor, on-chip memory, and off-chip memory. The first partition determined based on an amount of on-chip memory used by the first partition, an available amount of on-chip memory, and a size of a write back to the off-chip memory. The method also includes processing, at the device via the multi-layer ANN, an input, using the depth-first processing in accordance with the partition.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing piecewise pointwise convolution, comprising: performing a first piecewise pointwise convolution on a first subset of data received via a first branch input at a piecewise pointwise convolution layer of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model; performing a second piecewise pointwise convolution on a second subset of data received via a second branch input at the piecewise pointwise convolution layer; determining a piecewise pointwise convolution output by summing a result of the first piecewise pointwise convolution and a result of the second piecewise pointwise convolution; and providing the piecewise pointwise convolution output to a second layer of the CNN model.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods and devices for implementing automatic grammar augmentation for improving voice command recognition accuracy in systems with a small footprint acoustic model. Alternative expressions that may capture acoustic model decoding variations may be added to a grammar set. An acoustic model-specific statistical pronunciation dictionary may be derived by running the acoustic model through a large general speech dataset and constructing a command-specific candidate set containing potential grammar expressions. Greedy based and cross-entropy-method (CEM) based algorithms may be utilized to search the candidate set for augmentations with improved recognition accuracy.
Abstract:
A method of operating a shared resource in a mobile device includes extracting a set of features from a plurality of subsystems of the mobile device. The set of features may be extracted from each subsystem of the plurality of subsystems requesting services from one or more shared resources of the mobile device. One or more parameter of the shared resource(s) may be determined based on the extracted set of features from the plurality of subsystems. The shared resource(s) may be operated based on the determined parameter(s).

Abstract:
A method for pruning weights of an artificial neural network based on a learned threshold includes determining a pruning threshold for pruning a first set of pre-trained weights of multiple pre-trained weights based on a function of a classification loss and a regularization loss. The first set of pre-trained weights is pruned in response to a first value of each pretrained weight in the first set of pre-trained weights being greater than the pruning threshold. A second set of pre-trained weights of the multiple pre-trained weights is fine-tuned or adjusted in response to a second value of each pre-trained weight in the second set of pre-trained weights being greater than the pruning threshold.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for determining a severity of motion disorder symptoms by receiving sensor data from one or more sensors, determining that the sensor data represents one or more activities of daily life (ADLs) of a user, assigning one or more probabilities to the one or more determined ADLs, each probability of the one or more probabilities indicating a confidence level that the sensor data represents a corresponding ADL, and providing the sensor data and the one or more probabilities to a motion disorder symptom scoring module that generates one or more scores for the one or more determined ADLs based on the sensor data, each score of the one or more scores indicating the severity of the motion disorder symptoms for a corresponding ADL, and combines the one or more scores and the one or more probabilities to generate an aggregated severity score for the motion disorder symptoms.
Abstract:
A method for pruning weights of an artificial neural network based on a learned threshold includes designating a group of pre-trained weights of an artificial neural network to be evaluated for pruning. The method also includes determining a norm of the group of pre-trained weights, and performing a process based on the norm to determine whether to prune the entire group of pre-trained weights.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving cellular network signals at a mobile device from several cells of a cellular network. The method then includes generating a place model representative of a characteristic of the place where the mobile device is located in response to the received cellular network signals. In one aspect, the place model is clustered with one or more previously generated place models if the place model is similar to the one or more previously generated place models. In another aspect, it is determined whether the place where the mobile device is located is a place of relevance to a user based on the clustering of one or more previously generated place models if the place model is similar to the one or more previously generated place models.
