  • Publication number: 20240037822
    Abstract: Some implementations are directed to editing a source image, where the source image is one generated based on processing a source natural language (NL) prompt using a Large-scale language-image (LLI) model. Those implementations edit the source image based on user interface input that indicates an edit to the source NL prompt, and optionally independent of any user interface input that specifies a mask in the source image and/or independent of any other user interface input. Some implementations of the present disclosure are additionally or alternatively directed to applying prompt-to-prompt editing techniques to editing a source image that is one generated based on a real image, and that approximates the real image.

  • Publication number: 20230137744
    Abstract: A method of generating an aggregate saliency map using a convolutional neural network. Convolutional activation maps of the convolutional neural network model are received into a saliency map generator, the convolutional activation maps being generated by the neural network model while computing the one or more prediction scores based on unlabeled input data. Each convolutional activation map corresponds to one of the multiple encoding layers. The saliency map generator generates a layer-dependent saliency map for each encoding layer of the unlabeled input data, each layer-dependent saliency map being based on a summation of element-wise products of the convolutional activation maps and their corresponding gradients. The layer-dependent saliency maps are combined into the aggregate saliency map indicating the relative contributions of individual components of the unlabeled input data to the one or more prediction scores computed by the convolutional neural network model on the unlabeled input data.

  • Publication number: 20230137692
    Abstract: A computing system scores importance of a number of tokens in an input token sequence to one or more prediction scores computed by a neural network model on the input token sequence. The neural network model includes multiple encoding layers. Self-attention matrices of the neural network model are received into an importance evaluator. The self-attention matrices are generated by the neural network model while computing the one or more prediction scores based on the input token sequence. Each self-attention matrix corresponds to one of the multiple encoding layers. The importance evaluator generates an importance score for one or more of the tokens in the input token sequence. Each importance score is based on a summation as a function of the self-attention matrices, the summation being computed across the tokens in the input token sequence, across the self-attention matrices, and across the multiple encoding layers in the neural network model.

  • Patent number: 11636663
    Abstract: Solutions for localizing relevant objects in multi-object images include receiving a multi-object image; detecting a plurality of detected objects within the multi-object image; generating a primary heatmap for the multi-object image, the primary heatmap having at least one region of interest; determining a relevant detected object corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; determining an irrelevant detected object not corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; and indicating the relevant detected object as an output result but not indicating the irrelevant detected object as an output result. Some examples identify a plurality of objects that are visually similar to the relevant object and displaying the visually similar objects to a user, for example as recommendations of alternative catalog items on an e-commerce website. Some examples are able to identify a plurality of relevant objects and display multiple sets of visually similar objects.
