US Patent Issued to Palo Alto Networks on Feb. 3 for "Optimized adaptive pooling layer hyperparameters for variably sized inputs" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,670, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to Palo Alto Networks Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Optimized adaptive pooling layer hyperparameters for variably sized inputs" was invented by Brody James Kutt (San Jose, Calif.) and William Redington Hewlett II (Mountain View, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Adaptive pooling layers for compressing variably sized inputs use window sizes and stride lengths specific to variable input size and fixed output size at the pooling layer. A naive and an optimal adaptive pooling algorithm disclosed herein determine window size and stride length for variable sized inputs while minimizing window size and ...
