  • Publication number: 20240185035
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a mechanism for replacing existing text encoders in text-to-image generation models with more powerful pre-trained language models. Specifically, a translation network is trained to map features from the pre-trained language model output into the space of the target text encoder. The training preserves the rich structure of the pre-trained language model while allowing it to operate within the text-to-image generation model. The resulting modularized text-to-image model receives prompt and generates an image representing the features contained in the prompt.

  • Patent number: 12002266
    Abstract: Certain aspects and features of this disclosure relate to graph-based video instance segmentation. In one example, a reference instance of an object in a reference frame and features in a target frame are identified and used to produce a graph of nodes and edges. Each node represents a feature in the target frame or the reference instance of the object in the reference frame. Each edge of the graph represents a spatiotemporal relationship between the feature in the target frame and the reference instance of the object. Embeddings of the nodes and edges of the graph are iteratively updated based on the spatiotemporal relationship between a feature in the target frame and the reference instance of the object in the reference frame, resulting in a fused node embedding that can be used for detecting the target instance of the object.
