  • Patent number: 12225239
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an encoder neural network configured to receive a data item and to process the data item to output a compressed representation of the data item. In one aspect, a method includes, for each training data item: processing the data item using the encoder neural network to generate a latent representation of the training data item; processing the latent representation using a hyper-encoder neural network to determine a conditional entropy model; generating a compressed representation of the training data item; processing the compressed representation using a decoder neural network to generate a reconstruction of the training data item; processing the reconstruction of the training data item using a discriminator neural network to generate a discriminator network output; evaluating a first loss function; and determining an update to the current values of the encoder network parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240223817
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for compressing video data. In one aspect, a method comprises: receiving a video sequence of frames; generating, using a flow prediction network, an optical flow between two sequential frames, wherein the two sequential frames comprise a first frame and a second frame that is subsequent the first frame; generating from the optical flow, using a first autoencoder neural network: a predicted optical flow between the first frame and the second frame; and warping a reconstruction of the first frame according to the predicted optical flow and subsequently applying a blurring operation to obtain an initial predicted reconstruction of the second frame.
