  • Patent number: 11080351
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, media, and instructions for automated image processing and content curation are described. In one embodiment a server computer system receives a plurality of content communications from a plurality of client devices, each content communication comprising an associated piece of content and a corresponding metadata. Each content communication is processed to determine associated context values for each piece of content, each associated context value comprising at least one content value generated by machine vision processing of the associated piece of content. A first content collection is automatically generated based on context values, and a set of user accounts are associated with the collection. An identifier associated with the first content collection is published to user devices associated with user accounts. In various additional embodiments, different content values, image processing operations, and content selection operations are used to curate content collections.

  • Publication number: 20210021551
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, media, and instructions for automated image processing and content curation are described. In one embodiment a server computer system communicates at least a portion of a first content collection to a first client device, and receives a first selection communication in response, the first selection communication identifying a first piece of content of the first plurality of pieces of content. The server analyzes analyzing the first piece of content to identify a set of context values for the first piece of content, and accesses accessing a second content collection comprising pieces of content sharing at least a portion of the set of context values of the first piece of content. In various embodiments, different content values, image processing operations, and content selection operations are used to curate the content collections.

  • Patent number: 10382373
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, media, and instructions for automated image processing and content curation are described. In one embodiment a server computer system receives a content message from a first content source, and analyzes the content message to determine one or more quality scores and one or more content values associated with the content message. The server computer system analyzes the content message with a plurality of content collections of the database to identify a match between at least one of the one or more content values and a topic associated with at least a first content collection of the one or more content collections and automatically adds the content message to the first content collection based at least in part on the match. In various embodiments, different content values, image processing operations, and content selection operations are used to curate content collections.

  • Publication number: 20190126472
    Abstract: A neural network control system for controlling an agent to perform a task in a real-world environment, operates based on both image data and proprioceptive data describing the configuration of the agent. The training of the control system includes both imitation learning, using datasets generated from previous performances of the task, and reinforcement learning, based on rewards calculated from control data output by the control system.
