  • Publication number: 20240160888
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to neural networks for realistic and controllable agent simulation using guided trajectories. The neural networks can be configured using training data including trajectories and other state data associated with subjects or agents and remote or neighboring subjects or agents, as well as context data representative of an environment in which the subjects are present. The trajectories can be determining using the neural networks and using various forms of guidance for controllability, such as for waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance, and group movement.

  • Publication number: 20240111894
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to differentially private generative machine learning models. Systems and methods are disclosed for configuring generative models using privacy criteria, such as differential privacy criteria. The systems and methods can generate outputs representing content using machine learning models, such as diffusion models, that are determined in ways that satisfy differential privacy criteria. The machine learning models can be determined by diffusing the same training data to multiple noise levels.

  • Publication number: 20240096064

  • Patent number: 11875449
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for rendering complex surfaces or geometry. In at least one embodiment, neural signed distance functions (SDFs) can be used that efficiently capture multiple levels of detail (LODs), and that can be used to reconstruct multi-dimensional geometry or surfaces with high image quality. An example architecture can represent complex shapes in a compressed format with high visual fidelity, and can generalize across different geometries from a single learned example. Extremely small multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) can be used with an octree-based feature representation for the learned neural SDFs.

  • Publication number: 20240005604
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for the unconditional generation of novel three dimensional (3D) object shape representations, such as point clouds or meshes. In at least one embodiment, a first denoising diffusion model (DDM) can be trained to synthesize a 1D shape latent from Gaussian noise, and a second DDM can be trained to generate a set of latent points conditioned on this 1D shape latent. The shape latent and set of latent points can be provided to a decoder to generate a 3D point cloud representative of a random object from among the object classes on which the models were trained. A surface reconstruction process may be used to generate a surface mesh from this generated point cloud. Such an approach can scale to complex and/or multimodal distributions, and can be highly flexible as it can be adapted to various tasks such as multimodal voxel- or text-guided synthesis.

  • Patent number: 11847538
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to train a generative model based at least in part on a private dataset. In at least one embodiment, the generative model is trained based at least in part on a differentially private Sinkhorn algorithm, for example, using backpropagation with gradient descent to determine a gradient of a set of parameters of the generative models and modifying the set of parameters based at least in part on the gradient.

  • Publication number: 20230377324
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to multi-domain generative adversarial networks with learned warp fields. Input data can be generated according to a noise function and provided as input to a generative machine-learning model. The generative machine-learning model can determine a plurality of output images each corresponding to one of a respective plurality of image domains. The generative machine-learning model can include at least one layer to generate a plurality of morph maps each corresponding to one of the respective plurality of image domains. The output images can be presented using a display device.

  • Publication number: 20230377099
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for the generation of synthesized data from input noise using a denoising diffusion network. A higher order differential equation solver can be used for the denoising process, with one or more higher-order terms being distilled into one or more separate efficient neural networks. A separate, efficient neural network can be called together with a primary denoising model at inference time without significant loss in sampling efficiency. The separate neural network can provide information about the curvature (or other higher-order term) of the differential equation, representing a denoising trajectory, that can be used by the primary diffusion network to denoise the image using fewer denoising iterations.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to generate complete depictions of objects based on a partial depiction of the object. In at least one embodiment, an image of a complete object is generated by one or more neural networks, based on an image of a portion of the object, using an encoder of the one or more neural networks trained using training data generated from output of a decoder of the one or more neural networks.
