METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH CONVOLUTION NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303837 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH CONVOLUTION NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSING

The abstract of the patent application describes a neural network apparatus that includes processors and a controller to determine shared operands for parallelized operations based on features of input feature maps and kernels.

  • The neural network apparatus includes one or more processors and a controller.
  • The controller determines a shared operand for parallelized operations, which can be a pixel value from input feature maps or a weight value from kernels.
  • The shared operand is determined based on the features of the input feature maps and kernels.
  • The processing units then perform the parallelized operations based on the determined shared operand.

Potential Applications: - Image recognition - Natural language processing - Autonomous driving systems

Problems Solved: - Enhancing the efficiency of neural networks - Improving the accuracy of machine learning models

Commercial Applications: - Integration into hardware for AI applications - Development of specialized neural network processors

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the neural network apparatus improve the efficiency of parallelized operations? 2. What are the key features that differentiate this apparatus from existing neural network technologies?


Original Abstract Submitted

a neural network apparatus includes one or more processors comprising: a controller configured to determine a shared operand to be shared in parallelized operations as being either one of a pixel value among pixel values of an input feature map and a weight value among weight values of a kernel, based on either one or both of a feature of the input feature map and a feature of the kernel; and one or more processing units configured to perform the parallelized operations based on the determined shared operand.
