Title: Recurrent deep convolutional neural network for object detection
Inventor: Vidya Nariyambut Murali
IPC: G06N3/04
Filed: 2018-01-18
Abstract: The invention relates to detecting objects or visual features in a series of frames, e.g. video frames. A sensor component (e.g. camera) obtains a plurality of sensor frames captured over time. A detection component 502 is configured to detect objects or features within a sensor frame using a neural network (NN) (200). The neural network comprises a recurrent connection that feeds forward an indication of an object detected in a first sensor frame into one or more layers of the neural network for a second, later sensor frame 504. The output from the first frame could be fed into the input (202) of hidden (204-208) layers of the NN for the second frame. The output could provide an indication of the type of object (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle) and/or its location (302). Using information derived from a previous video frame in the analysis of the next frame can improve object detection over systems that simply treat each frame as an isolated image. The invention could be used in a control system 100 of an autonomous vehicle.

Title: Speculative side-channel hint instruction
Inventor: PETER RICHARD GREENHALGH
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2018-04-04
Abstract: In an apparatus 2 supporting speculative processing of read operations to read data from memory 20-22, a control circuit identifies a speculative side-channel hint instruction in a sequence of instructions to be processed. The hint instruction indicates a risk of information leakage if one subsequent read operation is processed speculatively. The control circuit determines speculative side‑channel mitigation measures based on the hint instruction. This improves upon mitigation measures applied to all operations which unnecessarily sacrifice performance. The control circuit can be decoder 12, execution stage 14, circuitry of data cache 20. Hint instructions, e.g. interpreted as NOP instructions, are inserted at compile or link time, just-in-time (JIT) compilation or dynamic recompilation, by hardware profiling. Hint instructions indicate that subsequent read operations are safe or unsafe to be processed speculatively. Control circuit annotates cached instruction or micro‑operations in 6, 8 based on the presence of hint instructions in the sequence.
