Abstract: With Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), facial alignment networks (FAN) have achieved significant accuracy on a wide range of public datasets, which comes along with larger model size and expensive computation costs, making it infeasible to adapt them to real-time applications on edge devices. There is provided a model compression approach on FAN using One-Shot Neural Architecture Search to overcome this problem while preserving performance criteria. Methods and devices provide efficient training and searching (on a single GPU), and resultant models can deploy to run real-time in browser-based applications on edge devices including tablets and smartphones. The compressed models provide comparable cutting-edge accuracy, while having a 30 times smaller model size and can run 40.7 ms per frame in a popular browser on a popular smartphone and OS.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems achieve disentanglement in semantic editing using GANs-based models. Self-corrected (low-density) latent code samples are projected in the original latent space and the editing directions corrected though relearning based on resulting high-density and low-density regions in the amended latent space. Leveraging the original meaningful directions and semantic region-specific layers, operations interpolate the original latent codes to generate images with minority combinations of attributes, then inverts these samples back to the original latent space. In accordance with embodiments, the operations can apply to preexisting methods that learn meaningful latent directions. Attribute disentanglement is improved with small amounts of low-density region samples added.

Abstract: Container devices, kits, and methods for mixing a heterogeneous composition prior to, during, and/or after use of the composition. A container includes an agitator element disposed in a guide inside the container, as well as an applicator for carrying and applying the composition to a surface. The agitator element is movably disposed within the guide, such that during agitation of the container, the agitator element controllably moves along the guide, through the composition, to mix the composition and increase uniformity of the composition for use. The guide prevents contact of the agitator element with the applicator to prevent damage to the applicator or flocking during agitation. The container is suited for use with cosmetic compositions that can be mixed for use.
