  • Publication number: 20200401835
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating semantic scene graphs for digital images using an external knowledgebase for feature refinement. For example, the disclosed system can determine object proposals and subgraph proposals for a digital image to indicate candidate relationships between objects in the digital image. The disclosed system can then extract relationships from an external knowledgebase for refining features of the object proposals and the subgraph proposals. Additionally, the disclosed system can generate a semantic scene graph for the digital image based on the refined features of the object/subgraph proposals. Furthermore, the disclosed system can update/train a semantic scene graph generation network based on the generated semantic scene graph. The disclosed system can also reconstruct the image using object labels based on the refined features to further update/train the semantic scene graph generation network.

  • Publication number: 20200382612
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating interpretable user modeling system. The interpretable user modeling system can use an intent neural network to implement one or more tasks. The intent neural network can bridge a semantic gap between log data and human language by leveraging tutorial data to understand user logs in a semantically meaningful way. A memory unit of the intent neural network can capture information from the tutorial data. Such a memory unit can be queried to identify human readable sentences related to actions received by the intent neural network. The human readable sentences can be used to interpret the user log data in a semantically meaningful way.

  • Publication number: 20200327446
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the generation of adversarial training data through sequence perturbation, for a deep learning network to perform event sequence analysis. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes applying a long short-term memory attention model to an input data sequence to generate discriminative sequence periods and attention weights associated with the discriminative sequence periods. The attention weights are generated to indicate the relative importance of data in those discriminative sequence periods. The method further includes generating perturbed data sequences based on the discriminative sequence periods and the attention weights. The generation of the perturbed data sequences employs selective filtering or conservative adversarial training, to preserve perceptual similarity between the input data sequence and the perturbed data sequences.

  • Publication number: 20200167690
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for multi-task equidistant embedding are described that process categorical feature data to explore feature interactions. A digital analytics system enforces an equidistant relationship among features within a category while extracting high-order feature interactions by punishing both positive correlations and negative correlations among low-dimensional representations of different features. By enforcing an equidistant embedding, information is retained and accuracy is increased while higher order feature interactions are determined. Further, the digital analytics system shares knowledge among different tasks by connecting a shared network representation common to multiple tasks with exclusive network representations specific to particular tasks.
