Abstract: The present disclosure provides projection neural networks and example applications thereof. In particular, the present disclosure provides a number of different architectures for projection neural networks, including two example architectures which can be referred to as: Self-Governing Neural Networks (SGNNs) and Projection Sequence Networks (ProSeqoNets). Each projection neural network can include one or more projection layers that project an input into a different space. For example, each projection layer can use a set of projection functions to project the input into a bit-space, thereby greatly reducing the dimensionality of the input and enabling computation with lower resource usage. As such, the projection neural networks provided herein are highly useful for on-device inference in resource-constrained devices. For example, the provided SGNN and ProSeqoNet architectures are particularly beneficial for on-device inference such as, for example, solving natural language understanding tasks on-device.

Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.

Abstract: A computing device may receive a communication sent from an external computing device. At least one processor of the computing device may determine, using an on-device machine-trained model and based at least in part on the communication, one or more candidate responses to the communication. The at least one processor may receive an indication of a user input that selects a candidate response from the one or more candidate responses. Responsive to receiving the indication of the user input that selects the candidate response, the at least one processor may send the candidate response to the external computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to pre-train projection networks for use as transferable natural language representation generators. In particular, example pre-training schemes described herein enable learning of transferable deep neural projection representations over randomized locality sensitive hashing (LSH) projections, thereby surmounting the need to store any embedding matrices because the projections can be dynamically computed at inference time.

Abstract: Implementations are directed to facilitating user device and/or agent device actions during a communication session. An interactive communications system provides outputs, as outlined below, that are tailored to enhance the functionality of the communication session, reduce the number of dialog “turns” of the communications session and/or the number of user inputs to devices involved in the session, and/or otherwise mitigate consumption of network and/or hardware resources during the communication session. In various implementations, the communication session involves user device(s) of a user, agent device(s) of an agent, and the interactive communications system. The interactive communications system can analyze various communications from the user device(s) and/or agent device(s) during a communication session in which the user (via the user device(s)) directs various communications to the agent, and in which the agent (via the agent device(s)) optionally directs various communications to the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an application development platform and associated software development kits (“SD-Ks”) that provide comprehensive services for generation, deployment, and management of machine-learned models used by computer applications such as, for example, mobile applications executed by a mobile computing device. In particular, the application development platform and SDKs can provide or otherwise leverage a unified, cross-platform application programming interface (“API”) that enables access to all of the different machine learning services needed for full machine learning functionality within the application. In such fashion, developers can have access to a single SDK for all machine learning services.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adding labels to a graph are disclosed. One system includes a plurality of computing devices including processors and memory storing an input graph generated based on a source data set, where an edge represents a similarity measure between two nodes in the input graph, the input graph being distributed across the plurality of computing devices, and some of the nodes are seed nodes associated with one or more training labels from a set of labels, each training label having an associated original weight. The memory may also store instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the plurality of distributed computing devices to propagate the training labels through the input graph using a sparsity approximation for label propagation, resulting in learned weights for respective node and label pairs, and automatically update the source data set using node and label pairs selected based on the learned weights.
