The encoder, at least one reconfigurator and at least one adaptor determine whether the input information is out-of-distribution or in-distribution. If the input information is in distribution, the architecture extracts features from the input information, creates hyperdimensional vectors representing the features and classifies the hyperdimensional vectors. If the input information is out of distribution, the architecture creates at least one adaptor to operate with the encoder and the at least one reconfigurator to extract features from the input information, create hyperdimensional vectors representing the features and classify the hyperdimensional vectors.

  • Publication number: 20250086895
    Abstract: Techniques for modifying data within a virtual space are discussed herein. A communication platform may receive a request from a user profile associated with a virtual space. The request may include instruction(s) for the communication platform to perform a modifying operation on data within a virtual space. Based on receiving the request, the communication platform may identify the data on which the operation is to be performed. The communication platform may input the data to one or more machine-learning models trained to output data that is a modified version of the data input to the machine-learning model (e.g., modified data). In such cases, the modified data may be modified consistent with the requested operation. The communication platform may receive the modified data from the machine-learning model and cause the modified data to be displayed via a user interface associated with the user profile.
