  • Publication number: 20230316475
    Abstract: An item recommendation system receives a set of recommendable items and a request to select, from the set of recommendable items, a contrast group. The item recommendation system selects a contrast group from the set of recommendable items by applying a image modification model to the set of recommendable items. The image modification model includes an item selection model configured to determine an unbiased conversion rate for each item of the set of recommendable items and select a recommended item from the set of recommendable items having a greatest unbiased conversion rate. The image modification model includes a contrast group selection model configured to select, for the recommended item, a contrast group comprising the recommended item and one or more contrast items. The item recommendation system transmits the contrast group responsive to the request.

  • Publication number: 20230316606
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for latent-based editing of digital images using a generative neural network. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems perform latent-based editing of a digital image by mapping a feature tensor and a set of style vectors for the digital image into a joint feature style space. In one or more implementations, the disclosed systems apply a joint feature style perturbation and/or modification vectors within the joint feature style space to determine modified style vectors and a modified feature tensor. Moreover, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems generate a modified digital image utilizing a generative neural network from the modified style vectors and the modified feature tensor.

  • Publication number: 20230316474
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for intelligently enhancing details in edited images. The disclosed system iteratively updates residual detail latent code for segments in edited images where detail has been lost through the editing process. More particularly, the disclosed system enhances an edited segment in an edited image based on details in a detailed segment of an image. Additionally, the disclosed system may utilize a detail neural network encoder to project the detailed segment and a corresponding segment of the edited image into a residual detail latent code. In some embodiments, the disclosed system generates a refined edited image based on the residual detail latent code and a latent vector of the edited image.

  • Patent number: 11727614
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for detecting user interactions to edit a digital image from a client device and modify the digital image for the client device by using a web-based intermediary that modifies a latent vector of the digital image and an image modification neural network to generate a modified digital image from the modified latent vector. In response to user interaction to modify a digital image, for instance, the disclosed systems modify a latent vector extracted from the digital image to reflect the requested modification. The disclosed systems further use a latent vector stream renderer (as an intermediary device) to generate an image delta that indicates a difference between the digital image and the modified digital image. The disclosed systems then provide the image delta as part of a digital stream to a client device to quickly render the modified digital image.
