  • Publication number: 20240273300
    Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for identifying prompts used for training of inference models are provided. In some examples, a specific textual prompt in a natural language may be received. Further, data based on at least one parameter of an inference model may be accessed. The inference model may be a result of training a machine learning model using a plurality of training examples. Each training example of the plurality of training examples may include a respective textual content and a respective media content. The data and the specific textual prompt may be analyzed to determine a likelihood that the specific textual prompt is included in at least one training example of the plurality of training examples. A digital signal indicative of the likelihood that the specific textual prompt is included in at least one training example of the plurality of training examples may be generated.

  • Publication number: 20240273307
    Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for inference based on different portions of a training set using a single inference model are provided. Textual inputs may be received, each of which may include a source-identifying-keyword. An inference model may be a result of training a machine learning model using a plurality of training examples. Each training example may include a respective textual content and a respective media content. The training examples may be grouped based on source-identifying-keywords included in the textual contents. Different parameters of the inference model may be based on different groups, and thereby be associated with different source-identifying-keywords. When generating new media content using the inference model and a textual input, parameters associated with the source-identifying-keyword included in the textual input may be used.
