Abstract: A latent code defined in an input space is processed by the mapping neural network to produce an intermediate latent code defined in an intermediate latent space. The intermediate latent code may be used as appearance vector that is processed by the synthesis neural network to generate an image. The appearance vector is a compressed encoding of data, such as video frames including a person's face, audio, and other data. Captured images may be converted into appearance vectors at a local device and transmitted to a remote device using much less bandwidth compared with transmitting the captured images. A synthesis neural network at the remote device reconstructs the images for display.

Abstract: In various examples, a generative model is used to synthesize datasets for use in training a downstream machine learning model to perform an associated task. The synthesized datasets may be generated by sampling a scene graph from a scene grammar—such as a probabilistic grammar— and applying the scene graph to the generative model to compute updated scene graphs more representative of object attribute distributions of real-world datasets. The downstream machine learning model may be validated against a real-world validation dataset, and the performance of the model on the real-world validation dataset may be used as an additional factor in further training or fine-tuning the generative model for generating the synthesized datasets specific to the task of the downstream machine learning model.
