1Volume of moving object
If traditional autoencoders compress data into latent space, then data dimensionality is reduced, but essential information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by maintaining a buffer of representative tokens before compression occurs. This buffer is continuously updated with incoming tokens, ensuring that the most diverse and informative tokens are captured in advance. The probabilistic sampling algorithm then uses this pre-prepared buffer to select tokens for compression, preventing information loss by ensuring representative samples are always available for encoding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - a buffer that stores representative tokens between the input data stream and the compression process. This buffer acts as a mediator that filters and selects the most important tokens based on probabilistic sampling, then feeds them to the autoencoder for compression. This intermediary step ensures that compression operates on pre-selected representative data, reducing dimensionality while preserving essential information.
2Reliability
If autoencoders process large datasets, then model accuracy improves, but computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential information from large datasets by using probabilistic sampling to select representative tokens. Instead of processing every token in the dataset, the algorithm identifies and extracts the most diverse and informative tokens, storing them in a buffer. This extracted subset is then used for training and inference, significantly reducing computational resources while maintaining model accuracy through the representative nature of the sampled data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by processing only a subset of data points at any given time through the autoencoder. The probabilistic sampling algorithm ensures that this partial processing covers the most important aspects of the data distribution. By using excessive sampling (maintaining a buffer larger than strictly necessary), the system ensures comprehensive coverage of data diversity while keeping computational costs manageable through the efficiency of the sampling approach.
3Ease of manufacture
If autoencoders are trained on static data, then training is simplified, but adaptability to real-time data changes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamics by making the buffer continuously adaptive to incoming data streams. The probabilistic sampling algorithm dynamically adjusts which tokens are stored in the buffer based on real-time data characteristics. This dynamic buffer mechanism allows the autoencoder to adapt to changing data distributions without requiring complete retraining, as the buffer automatically updates to reflect current data patterns while maintaining the simplicity of the core encoding-decoding architecture.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the buffer stores more tokens, then token diversity increases, but memory consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the buffer composition non-uniform - different tokens are stored with different probabilities based on their representativeness. The probabilistic sampling algorithm assigns higher weights to diverse and informative tokens, ensuring they are stored more frequently. This creates a local quality distribution where critical tokens are over-represented while less important tokens are under-represented, maximizing token diversity effectiveness while minimizing overall memory consumption compared to uniform storage approaches.

AI summary
A method is provided for estimating the number of distinct tokens in a text stream using a modified text-to-text variational autoencoder (T5VQVAE) model. The method includes receiving a continuous input of a text stream; dynamically maintaining a buffer that stores a probabilistic subset of tokens from the text stream; calculating a sampling probability for each token based on a condition related to the current state of the buffer; updating the buffer based on the sampling probability to include or exclude tokens; encoding the buffered tokens into a latent space using the T5VQVAE model; and estimating the number of distinct tokens in the text stream based on the tokens in the buffer and the corresponding sampling probabilities.
