Please help me predict the CPC LABEL for this patentPATENT ABSTRACT: Described is a sparse inference module that can be incorporated into a deep learning system. For example, the deep learning system includes a plurality of hierarchical feature channel layers, each feature channel layer having a set of filters. A plurality of sparse inference modules can be included such that a sparse inference module resides electronically within each feature channel layer. Each sparse inference module is configured to receive data and match the data against a plurality of pattern templates to generate a degree of match value for each of the pattern templates, with the degree of match values being sparsified such that only those degree of match values that exceed a predetermined threshold, or a fixed number of the top degree of match values, are provided to subsequent feature channels in the plurality of hierarchical feature channels, while other, losing degree of match values are quenched to zero.
