Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein to execute an inference model by a processor which includes a reshape layer. In an implementation, the reshape layer of the inference model receives an output produced by a previous layer of the inference model and inserts padding into the output, then supplies the padded output as an input to a next layer of the inference model. In an implementation, the inference model includes a stitching layer at the beginning of the inference model and an un-stitch layer at the end of the model. The stitching layer of the inference model stitches together multiple input images into an image batch and supplies the image batch as an input to a subsequent layer. The un-stitch layer receives output from a penultimate layer of the inference model and unstitches the output to produce multiple output images corresponding to the multiple input images.

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.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements to authenticate users, particularly authenticating a user based on data known to the user. For example, methods and systems allow for users to be securely authenticated based on data known to the users over remote communication networks without storing the data known to the users. Specifically, methods and systems authenticate users by requiring users to select images that are known to the users. For example, the methods and systems may generate synthetic images based on the user's own images and require the user to select the synthetic image, from a set of a set of images, that is known to the user to authenticate the user. Moreover, the methods and systems alleviate storage and privacy concerns by not storing the data known to the users.

The multiple upscaling operations and the multiple trimming operations are applied to the image in an order in which one upscaling operation is applied and thereafter one trimming operation corresponding to the upscaling operation is applied.

Abstract: A method for selecting a final model for detecting cells of interest in image datasets includes dividing a curated image dataset into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set where each image in the curated image dataset has been labeled as positive or negative for a cell of interest. The method trains each model of an ensemble of neural networks using the training and validation sets. Next, each model of the ensemble is tested using the testing set and the predictions of the ensemble are combined. The combined prediction is compared to the label and the method determines whether the combined prediction satisfies a pre-determined level of detection (LOD). If so, the method outputs the ensemble as a final ensemble. If not, the method modifies a hyperparameter of at least one of the models of the ensemble until the combined prediction satisfies the pre-determined LOD.
