  • Patent number: 11423265
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for content moderation using object detection and image classification are disclosed. A content moderation system performs object detection on an input image using one or more object detectors. The object detection finds one or more elements in the input image. The content moderation system performs classification based at least in part on the input image using one or more image classifiers. The classification determines one or more values indicative of one or more content types in the input image. The content moderation system determines one or more scores for one or more content labels corresponding to the one or more content types. At least one of the scores represents a finding of one or more of the content types in the input image. The content moderation system generates output indicating the finding of the one or more of the content types.

  • Patent number: 10776417
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for visual similarity based search techniques that certain desirable visual attributes of one or more items to search for items having similar visual attributes. In order to create an electronic catalog of items that is searchable by parts-based visual attributes, the visual attributes are identified and corresponding feature vectors are extracted from the image data of each item. Thus, feature values of parts-based visual attributes of items in the electronic catalog can be determined and used to select or rank the items in response to a search query based on desirable visual attributes. To conduct a search, a user may define desirable visual attributes of one or more items. The feature vectors of the desirable visual attributes are determined and used to query the electronic catalog of items, in which items having visual attributes of similar feature vectors are selected and returned as search results.
