  • Patent number: 11062095
    Abstract: A method for receiving a first text in a source language is provided. The method includes associating the first text in the source language with a first vector, selected from a plurality of vectors associated with the source language in an embedded set, and identifying a second vector that is closer to the first vector than a pre-selected threshold. The second vector is associated with a second text in a target language. The method includes associating the first text in the source language with the second text in the target language, wherein the embedded set includes a first image vector for a first image and a second image vector for a second image, and returning the second text in the target language, the second text being a translation of the first text from the source language to the target language. A system configured to perform the above method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10783398
    Abstract: A method for receiving an image query from a user via a client device is provided. The method includes determining a user personalized data based on a prior user history, generating a synthetic image with a generative tool, based on the image query and the user personalized data, and evaluating a similarity between the synthetic image and a real image in an image database with a discriminative tool. The method also includes providing the synthetic image to the user for selection and storing a user response to the synthetic image in the prior user history. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions to cause the system to perform the above method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10459995
    Abstract: A method for receiving an input user query from a user in any of multiple languages and creating an input user query vector for the input user query is provided. The input user query vector has a length equal to a pre-selected length determined by a dimension of a multimodal space. The method includes associating an image vector to the input user query vector in the multimodal space, the image vector having the pre-selected length, identifying, from an image database, an image associated with the image vector, and providing the image for display to the user in a results panel of a user interface. A system configured to perform the above method is also provided.
