US Patent Issued to Amazon Technologies on Aug. 11 for "Executing replicated neural network layers on inference circuit" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,705,473, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to Amazon Technologies Inc. (Seattle).

"Executing replicated neural network layers on inference circuit" was invented by Eric A. Sather (Palo Alto, Calif.) and Steven L. Teig (Menlo Park, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Some embodiments provide a method for executing a layer of a neural network, for a circuit that restricts a number of weight values used per layer. The method applies a first set of weights to a set of inputs to generate a first set of results. The first set of weights are restricted to a first set of allowed values. For each of one or more additional sets of weights, the met...
