  • Publication number: 20250184398
    Abstract: A system and method that includes retrieving candidate effects to present to a user; computing initial scores for the candidate effects; computing adjusted scores for the candidate effects, each adjusted score for an effect being based on an initial score for the effect and a demotion factor computed based on interaction data associated with the user and the candidate effects; generating a set of recommended effects based on the candidate effects and associated adjusted scores; and causing the set of recommended effects to be presented to the user on a computing device. The demotion factor for the effect is further based on a number of consecutive repeated actions being performed by the user, during a first predetermined interval, with respect to the effect. Effects include lenses, filters, image stylization effects, or video stylization effects, while actions include swipe actions.

  • Publication number: 20250148218
    Abstract: A first image and a second image are accessed. The second image is generated by applying an augmented reality (AR) effect to the first image. The first image, the second image, and a prompt are provided to a visual-semantic machine learning model to obtain output describing at least one feature of the AR effect. A description of the AR effect is generated based on the output of the visual-semantic machine learning model. The description of the AR effect is stored in association with an identifier of the AR effect.

  • Publication number: 20250148816
    Abstract: A second input image is generated by applying a target augmented reality (AR) effect to a first input image. The first input image and the second input image are provided to a first visual-semantic machine learning model to obtain output describing at least one feature of the target AR effect. The first visual-semantic machine learning model is fine-tuned from a second visual-semantic machine learning model by using training samples. Each training sample comprises a first training image, a second training image, and a training description of a given AR effect. The second training image is generated by applying the given AR effect to the first training image. A description of the target AR effect is selected based on the output of the visual-semantic machine learning model. The description of the target AR effect is stored in association with an identifier of the target AR effect.

  • Publication number: 20250086466
    Abstract: A compact generative neural network can be distilled from a teacher generative neural network using a training network. The compact network can be trained on the input data and output data of the teacher network. The training network train the student network using a discrimination layer and one or more types of losses, such as perception loss and adversarial loss.

  • Publication number: 20240355063
    Abstract: An input video item that includes a target visual augmentation is accessed. A machine learning model uses the input video item to generate an embedding. The embedding may comprise a vector representation of a visual effect of the target visual augmentation. The machine learning model is trained, in an unsupervised training phase, to minimize loss between training video representations generated within each of a plurality of training sets. Each training set comprises a plurality of different training video items that each include a predefined visual augmentation. Based on the generation of the embedding of the input video item, the target visual augmentation is mapped to an augmentation identifier.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for generating facial representations using image segmentation with a client device. The systems and methods receive an image depicting a face, detect at least a portion of the face within the image, and identify a set of facial landmarks within the portion of the face. The systems and methods determine one or more characteristics representing the portion of the face, in response to detecting the portion of the face. Based on the one or more characteristics and the set of facial landmarks, the systems and methods generate a representation of a face.
