Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that utilize image-guided model inversion of an image classifier with a discriminator. The disclosed systems utilize a neural network image classifier to encode features of an initial image and a target image. The disclosed system also reduces a feature distance between the features of the initial image and the features of the target image at a plurality of layers of the neural network image classifier by utilizing a feature distance regularizer. Additionally, the disclosed system reduces a patch difference between image patches of the initial image and image patches of the target image by utilizing a patch-based discriminator with a patch consistency regularizer. The disclosed system then generates a synthesized digital image based on the constrained feature set and constrained image patches of the initial image.

Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering data for cluster computing are described herein. A worker device may receive a dataset and store the dataset in a local storage media. This may prevent the need for the dataset to be sent over a network each time the applications are used to perform a task. Each application may be able to access the dataset in the local storage area. This may prevent the need to copy the dataset to memory associated with each application. A worker device may store a dataset, for example, if it determines that the frequency of updates to the dataset satisfy a threshold. The worker device may receive updates to the dataset via a messaging system and may store the updated data in the local storage media.

Abstract: A coated member, an electronic device, and a method for manufacturing the coated member are provided. The coated member comprises a substrate, a color layer formed on a surface of the substrate, and an interference layer formed on a surface of the color layer. A coordinate L* corresponding to a color space presented by the color layer in a CIE LAB color system is within a preset range. When the coordinates of L* are within the preset range, the color of the coated member may be the same or may be different from the color of the color layer. Light passes through the interference layer and then enters the color layer. The color layer reflects and refracts the light. The reflected light enters the interference layer. The interference layer interferes with the reflected light, so that the coated member appears to be a target color.
