  • Publication number: 20250053865
    Abstract: The technology is generally directed to the training and execution of a model to identify policy violating content that has been obfuscated. The model may be trained using obfuscated training images. The obfuscated training images may be associated with one or more labels, such as a policy, obfuscation label, etc. The obfuscated training images and associated labels may be input into the model. During training, the output of the model may be a policy prediction as to whether the obfuscated input images violate the content policy of a host or are approved content for publishing. During implementation, the model may receive content as input and provide as output a policy prediction for the content. The host may use the policy prediction provided by the model to determine whether or not to publish the content.

  • Publication number: 20240428573
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an input from a user relating to a concept, automatically obtaining a first set of images from an unlabeled dataset of images based on the input, and obtaining a first rating via the user for each image from the first set of images. The method further includes training a classifier model relating to the concept based on the first set of images rated by the user, automatically obtaining a second set of images from the unlabeled dataset of images based on the classifier model trained based on the first set of images, and obtaining a second rating via the user for each image from the second set of images. The classifier model relating to the concept is retrained based on the first set of images rated by the user and the second set of images rated by the user to obtain an updated classifier model.

  • Publication number: 20240330361
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an image embedding model. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining training data comprising a plurality of training examples, wherein each training example comprises: an image pair comprising a first image and a second image; and selection data indicating one or more of: (i) a co-click rate of the image pair, and (ii) a similar-image click rate of the image pair; and using the training data to train an image embedding model having a plurality of image embedding model parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240143700
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for realizing a multimodal image classifier. In an aspect, a method includes, for each image of a plurality of images: processing the image by a textual generator model to obtain a set of phrases that are descriptive of the content of the image, wherein each phrase is one or more terms, processing the set of phrases by a textual embedding model to obtain an embedding of predicted text for the image, and processing the image using an image embedding model to obtain an embedding of image pixels of the image. Then a multimodal image classifier is trained on the embeddings of predicted text for the images and the embeddings of image pixels for the images to produce, as output, labels of an output taxonomy to classify an image based on the image as input.
