The standard pipeline is one-packet/one-path, meaning that it looks at one packet as it takes a specific path through the chip’s ports and buffers.

Key Points: 
  • The standard pipeline is one-packet/one-path, meaning that it looks at one packet as it takes a specific path through the chip’s ports and buffers.
  • NetGNT, in contrast, is an ML inference engine and can be trained to look for different types of traffic patterns that span the entire chip.
  • NetGNT can recognize this pattern in real-time as it begins and invoke congestion-control techniques to avoid degraded network performance.

NTT Research, Inc. , a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that scientists affiliated with its Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab have co-authored a paper that proposes a way to overcome bias in deep neural networks (DNNs).

Key Points: 
  • NTT Research, Inc. , a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that scientists affiliated with its Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab have co-authored a paper that proposes a way to overcome bias in deep neural networks (DNNs).
  • “Our PHI Lab scientists and their colleagues have enlarged our understanding of the relatively neglected field of neural network fine-tuning in this notable paper and have proposed an innovative remedy for correcting against bias,” PHI Lab Director Yoshihisa Yamamoto said.
  • In a recent three-month span, top academic journals accepted or published a dozen papers co-authored by PHI Lab scientists.
  • The PHI Lab also has reached joint research agreements with numerous institutions, Harvard University being the most recent.
