  • Publication number: 20240256636
    Abstract: At an artificial intelligence system, training iterations of a first machine learning model are implemented. In a particular iteration, a group of data items are selected from an item collection using active learning, and respective labels selected from a set of tags are obtained for at least some of the items of the group. Using feature processing elements of a different machine learning model, a respective feature set corresponding to individual labeled items is generated in the iteration, and the feature sets are included in a training set used to train the first machine learning model. A trained version of the first machine learning model is stored after a training completion criterion is met.

  • Publication number: 20230410479
    Abstract: An image manipulation system for generating modified images using a generative adversarial network (GAN) trains GANs using domain changes, aligns input images with generated images, classifies and associates target images based on a symmetry, and uses a modified discriminator structure. A method for domain changes includes generating, using a pre-trained GAN trained on a plurality of first target images, a plurality of images, and determining a feature for each of the plurality of images. The method further includes determining the feature for each of a plurality of second target images and matching, based on the feature, second target images of the plurality of second target images with the plurality of images. The method further includes training a discriminator of the pre-trained GAN with the second target images and the plurality of images.

  • Publication number: 20230215062
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe an image stylization system. The image stylization system accesses a set of images corresponding to a target domain style, generates a set of paired images using a first machine learning model, analyze the generated set of paired images using a second machine learning model trained to analyze the generated set of paired images based on a plurality of protected feature criteria, determines a set of image transformations for the generated set of pairs, generates a transformed set of paired images by performing the set of image transformations on the set of paired images, and generates stylized images corresponding to the target domain style using a supervised image translation model trained on the transformed set of paired images.

  • Patent number: 11657479
    Abstract: A mobile device can implement a neural network-based domain transfer scheme to modify an image in a first domain appearance to a second domain appearance. The domain transfer scheme can be configured to detect an object in the image, apply an effect to the image, and blend the image using color space adjustments and blending schemes to generate a realistic result image. The domain transfer scheme can further be configured to efficiently execute on the constrained device by removing operational layers based on resources available on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11501210
    Abstract: A request associated with reviewing content for a field of interest is received. A confidence is determined associated with the content including the field of interest. A machine learning (ML) model determines a first confidence associated with the content includes the field of interest. The field of interest is transmitted for review in instances where the first confidence is less than a confidence threshold. After review, an indication associated with a reviewer reviewing the content and the first confidence associated with the ML model identifying the field of interest is updated to a second confidence.

  • Publication number: 20220207355
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe an image manipulation system for generating modified images using a generative adversarial network. The image manipulation system accesses a pre-trained generative adversarial network (GAN), fine-tunes the pre-trained GAN by training a portion of existing neural network layers of the pre-trained GAN and newly added layers of the pre-trained GAN on a secondary image domain, adjusts the weights of the fine-tuned GAN using the weights of the pre-trained GAN, and stores the fine-tuned GAN. An image transformation system uses the generated modified images to train a subsequent neural network, which can access a face from a client device and transform it to a domain of images used for GAN fine-tuning.

  • Patent number: 11048979
    Abstract: Techniques for active learning-based data labeling are described. An active learning-based data labeling service enables a user to build and manage large, high accuracy datasets for use in various machine learning systems. Machine learning may be used to automate annotation and management of the datasets, increasing efficiency of labeling tasks and reducing the time required to perform labeling. Embodiments utilize active learning techniques to reduce the amount of a dataset that requires manual labeling. As subsets of the dataset are labeled, this label data is used to train a model which can then identify additional objects in the dataset without manual intervention. The process may continue iteratively until the model converges. This enables a dataset to be labeled without requiring each item in the dataset to be individually and manually labeled by human labelers.
