20090083332TAGGING OVER TIME: REAL-WORLD IMAGE ANNOTATION BY LIGHTWEIGHT METALEARNING - A principled, probabilistic approach to meta-learning acts as a go-between for a ‘black-box’ image annotation system and its users. Inspired by inductive transfer, the approach harnesses available information, including the black-box model's performance, the image representations, and a semantic lexicon ontology. Being computationally ‘lightweight.’ the meta-learner efficiently re-trains over time, to improve and/or adapt to changes. The black-box annotation model is not required to be re-trained, allowing computationally intensive algorithms to be used. Both batch and online annotation settings are accommodated. A “tagging over time” approach produces progressively better annotation, significantly outperforming the black-box as well as the static form of the meta-learner, on real-world data.03-26-2009

20100327958Leakage Current Mitigation in a Semiconductor Device - A dormant mode target semiconductor device within a leakage current target unit is identified for mitigating leakage current to prevent it from reaching catastrophic runaway. A leakage current shift monitor unit is electrically connected to the output node of the leakage current target unit and collects leakage current from the selected target semiconductor device for two consecutive predefined temporal periods and measures the difference between the collected leakage currents. A comparator receives and compares the outputs of the current shift monitor unit and a reference voltage generator. The comparator propagates an alert signal to the leakage current target unit when the leakage voltage output from the leakage current shift monitor unit exceeds the reference voltage, a condition that indicates that the leakage current is about to approach catastrophic runaway levels. This alert signal switches the target semiconductor device to an active mode for leakage mitigation, which includes a repair voltage from a repair voltage generator applied to the gate of the target semiconductor device.12-30-2010
