  • Patent number: 12632996
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that relate to generating quantization tables that are used during digital image compression of a digital image. Multiple training images are obtained. A model can be trained using the training images to generate a quantization table that can be used during encoding of an input image. For each training image, a quantization table can be obtained using the model. Using the quantization table, an encoded digital image is obtained for the training image. Using the encoded digital image and the training image, an image quality loss and a compression loss can be determined. An overall loss of the model can be determined by combining the image quality loss and the compression loss for the training image. The model can be updated based on the overall loss.

  • Publication number: 20260099906
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a target generative neural network over a plurality of training iterations. At each iteration, a first data item is generated by processing a conditioning input using the target generative neural network. An improvement generative neural network then processes the first data item and the conditioning input to generate a second, preferred data item. A training example is generated that includes the first and second data items and indicates that the second data item is preferred over the first. The target generative neural network is then trained on this training example. By using this iterative process to dynamically generate preference data, the described techniques improve the performance of the generative neural network beyond the limitations of static, offline datasets without requiring computationally expensive reward models or external human annotation.

  • Publication number: 20260087580
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting and decoding a visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark. A watermark detection apparatus determines whether the particular image includes a visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark using detector a machine learning model. If the watermark detection apparatus detects a watermark, the particular image is routed to a watermark decoder. If the watermark detection apparatus cannot detect a watermark in the particular image, the particular image is filtered from further processing. The watermark decoder decodes the visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark detected in the particular image. After decoding, an item depicted in the particular image is validated based data extracted from the decoded visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark.

  • Publication number: 20260080672
    Abstract: Provided is an efficient and scalable attention model that can be referred to as multi-axis attention. Example implementations can include two aspects: blocked local and dilated global attention. These design choices allow global-local spatial interactions on arbitrary input resolutions with only linear complexity. The present disclosure also presents a new architectural element by effectively blending the proposed multi-axis attention model with convolutions. In addition, the present disclosure proposes a simple hierarchical vision backbone, example implementations of which can be referred to as MaxViT, by simply repeating the basic building block over multiple stages. Notably, MaxViT is able to “see” globally throughout the entire network, even in earlier, high-resolution stages.

  • Patent number: 12579705
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to text to image generative models fine-tuned to generate images that account for performance in addition to quality. For example, in a digital content domain, the generated images can be not only visually appealing but perform well as advertising assets, e.g., result in improved click through rate and/or conversion rate. Accounting for performance and quality can reduce processing cost and memory usage when generating images from text prompts, as the resolution of the image can be balanced with its function, allowing for reduced quality images that can still perform well.

  • Publication number: 20260052271
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods which feature a machine-learned video super-resolution (VSR) model which has been trained using a bi-directional training approach. In particular, the present disclosure provides a compression-informed (e.g., compression-aware) super-resolution model that can perform well on real-world videos with different levels of compression. Specifically, example models described herein can include three modules to robustly restore the missing information caused by video compression. First, a bi-directional recurrent module can be used to reduce the accumulated warping error from the random locations of the intra-frame from compressed video frames. Second, a detail-aware flow estimation module can be added to enable recovery of high resolution (HR) flow from compressed low resolution (LR) frames. Finally, a Laplacian enhancement module can add high-frequency information to the warped HR frames washed out by video encoding.
