  • Patent number: 11080316
    Abstract: People represented in multiple images can be recognized using accurate facial similarity metrics, where the accuracy can be further improved using contextual information. A set of models can be trained to process image data, and facial features can be extracted from a face region of an image and passed to the trained models. Resulting feature vectors can be concatenated and the dimensionality reduced to generate a highly accurate feature vector that is representative of the face in the image. The feature vector can be used to locate similar vectors in a multi-dimensional vector space, where similarity can be determined based at least in part upon the distance between the endpoints of those vectors in the vector space. Context information from the image can be used to adjust the similarity determination. Similar vectors can be clustered together such that the faces represented by those images are associated with the same person.

  • Patent number: 10962939
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for customizable content moderation using neural networks with fine-grained and dynamic image classification ontology. A content moderation system of the present disclosure may provide a plurality of image categories in which a subset of of image categories may be designated as restricted categories. The restricted categories may be chosen by a content provider or an end-user. The content moderation system may utilize a neural network to classify image data (e.g., still images, video, etc.) into one or more of the plurality of image categories, and determine that an image is a restricted image upon classifying the image into one of the restricted categories. The restricted image may by flagged, rejected, removed, or otherwise filtered upon being classified as a restricted image.

  • Publication number: 20210034980
    Abstract: A visualization tool for machine learning models obtains metadata from a first training node at which a multi-layer machine learning model is being trained. The metadata includes a parameter of an internal layer of the model. The tool determines a plurality of metrics from the metadata, including respective loss function values corresponding to several training iterations of the model. The tool indicates the loss function values and the internal layer parameter values via a graphical interface.

  • Patent number: 10534965
    Abstract: Techniques for analyzing stored video upon a request are described. For example, a method of receiving a first application programming interface (API) request to analyze a stored video, the API request to include a location of the stored video and at least one analysis action to perform on the stored video; accessing the location of the stored video to retrieve the stored video; segmenting the accessed video into chunks; processing each chunk with a chunk processor to perform the at least one analysis action, each chunk processor to utilize at least one machine learning model in performing the at least one analysis action; joining the results of the processing of each chunk to generate a final result; storing the final result; and providing the final result to a requestor in response to a second API request is described.

  • Patent number: 10467290
    Abstract: A knowledge graph (KG) is generated and refined. The generated KG describes direct relationships between different words associated with a particular classification. Initially, a semantic data source, such as a lexical database, is accessed to identify words that are similarly grouped and express a distinct concept. A KG generator creates a sparse KG that provides a direct connection between a seed word and other words. The sparse KG is used by a dense KG generator to create a dense KG. The dense KG generator creates a dense KG that joins each of the different words directly with the seed word for the category. At different points during the creation and refinement of the KG, a user may add or remove one or more connections that affect the creation of the KG.

  • Patent number: 10423827
    Abstract: A method and system for analyzing text in an image. Classification and localization information is identified for the image at a word and character level. A detailed profile is generated that includes attributes of the words and characters identified in the image. One or more objects representing a predicted source of the text are identified in the image. In one embodiment, neural networks are employed to determine localization information and classification information associated with the identified object of interest (e.g., a text string, a character, or a text source).

  • Patent number: 9792530
    Abstract: A knowledge base (KB) is generated and used to classify images. The knowledge base includes a number subcategories of a specified category. Instead of obtaining images just based on a category name, structured and unstructured data sources are used to identify subcategories of the category. Subcategories that are determined to not be relevant to the category may be removed. The remaining data may be used to generate the KB. After identifying the relevant subcategories, representative images are obtained from one or more image sources based on the subcategories identified by the KB. The obtained images and the KB are then used to train an image classifier, such as a neural network or some other machine learning mechanism. After training, the neural network might, for example, classify an object within an image of a car, as a car, but also as a particular brand and model type.
