Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize deep learning to map query videos to known videos so as to identify a provenance of the query video or identify editorial manipulations of the query video relative to a known video. For example, the video comparison system includes a deep video comparator model that generates and compares visual and audio descriptors utilizing codewords and an inverse index. The deep video comparator model is robust and ignores discrepancies due to benign transformations that commonly occur during electronic video distribution.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable variable and dynamic feedback to electronic activities by receiving event data and utilizing a feedback machine learning model to predict an average feedback attribute and an average feedback variability attribute based on the event data. A feedback data entry is added to a user profile to store the average feedback attribute and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event and a new event attribute are received for the user profile, and a feedback probability distribution for the new event is generated based on the new event attribute, the average feedback attribute, and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event feedback is generated for the new event based on a random selection from the feedback probability distribution and is output to a computing device associated with the user profile.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize deep learning to identify regions of an image that have been editorially modified. For example, the image comparison system includes a deep image comparator model that compares a pair of images and localizes regions that have been editorially manipulated relative to an original or trusted image. More specifically, the deep image comparator model generates and surfaces visual indications of the location of such editorial changes on the modified image. The deep image comparator model is robust and ignores discrepancies due to benign image transformations that commonly occur during electronic image distribution. The image comparison system optionally includes an image retrieval model utilizes a visual search embedding that is robust to minor manipulations or benign modifications of images. The image retrieval model utilizes a visual search embedding for an image to robustly identify near duplicate images.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for generating a dynamic, user interface that is capable of frequently changing and learning to provide the most relevant information to the user. The method includes executing a plurality of user interface (UI) modules on a computing device. Each UI module is a software component that provides content for display in the user interface. Each UI module determines its own content and its own priority level and bids for user interface space using its determined priority level. A UI controller is executed on the computing device. The UI controller is a software component that receives bids for the UI modules, determines the number of available spots for UI modules in the user interface, and selects UI modules associated with the highest priority for display in the available user interface spots.
