US Patent Issued to Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson on May 5 for "Methods and apparatuses for bottleneck stages in neural-network processing" (Swedish Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,619,857, issued on May 5, was assigned to Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) (Stockholm).

"Methods and apparatuses for bottleneck stages in neural-network processing" was invented by Anders Berkeman (Lund, Sweden) and Sven Karlsson (Malmo, Sweden).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and apparatuses herein improve bottleneck-layer processing in neural networks. Example advantages include reducing the number of accesses needed to external memory, allowing processing to run in parallel in successive bottleneck layers, based on the use of partial convolutional results, and balancing the amount of "local" memory used for storing convoluti...
