Samsung patents method to compress data for graph neural networks

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a way to train graph neural networks, which are computer models that learn from data connected in a network like social media or maps. The method creates a smaller, compressed version of the data at each step of the training process to make the calculations more efficient.

Why it mattersThis is a technical improvement for machine learning engineers that could help computer models learn faster or use less memory, but it does not point to a specific new consumer product.

In the filing’s own words

A processor-implemented method including generating, based on a first matrix multiplication between an adjacency matrix of train nodes for training a graph neural network (GNN) and a first feature matrix of the train nodes corresponding to a previous layer of the GNN, a second feature matrix corresponding to a current layer of the GNN, generating, by the second feature matrix, a first hidden feature vector of each of the train nodes and a second hidden feature vector of each of the train nodes, and generating a compressed representation of the second feature matrix based on the first hidden feature vector and the second hidden feature vector.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device, comprising: one or more processors comprising processing circuitry; and a memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions that, when executed individually or collectively by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to: generate, based on a first matrix multiplication between an adjacency matrix of train nodes for training a graph neural network (GNN) and a first feature matrix of the train nodes corresponding to a previous layer of the GNN, a second feature matrix corresponding to a current layer of the GNN; generate, by the second feature matrix, a first hidden feature vector of each of the train nodes and a second hidden feature vector of each of the train nodes; and generate a compressed representation of the second feature matrix based on the first hidden feature vector and the second hidden feature vector.
