  • Patent number: 11636147
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tag-based font recognition system that utilizes a multi-learning framework to develop and improve tag-based font recognition using deep learning neural networks. In particular, the tag-based font recognition system jointly trains a font tag recognition neural network with an implicit font classification attention model to generate font tag probability vectors that are enhanced by implicit font classification information. Indeed, the font recognition system weights the hidden layers of the font tag recognition neural network with implicit font information to improve the accuracy and predictability of the font tag recognition neural network, which results in improved retrieval of fonts in response to a font tag query. Accordingly, using the enhanced tag probability vectors, the tag-based font recognition system can accurately identify and recommend one or more fonts in response to a font tag query.

  • Patent number: 11551337
    Abstract: Systems and methods for removing objects from images are disclosed. An image processing application identifies a boundary of each object of a set of objects in an image. The image processing application identifies a completed boundary for each object of the set of objects by providing the object to a trained model. The image processing application determines a set of masks. Each mask corresponds to an object of the set of objects and represents a region of the image defined by an intersection of the boundary of the object and the boundary of a target object to be removed from the image. The image processing application updates each mask by separately performing content filling on the corresponding region. The image processing application creates an output image by merging each of the updated masks with portions of the image.
