US Patent Issued to Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. on May 6 for "Loss function optimization using Taylor series expansion" (California, Colorado Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,292,944, issued on May 6, was assigned to Cognizant Technology Solutions U.S. Corp. (College Station, Texas).

"Loss function optimization using Taylor series expansion" was invented by Santiago Gonzalez (Denver) and Risto Miikkulainen (Stanford, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A process for optimizing loss functions includes progressively building better sets of parameters for loss functions represented as multivariate Taylor expansions in accordance with an iterative process. The optimization process is built upon CMA-ES. At each generation (i.e., each CMA-ES iteration), a new set of candidate parameter vectors is sampled. These c...
