Abstract: A method for training an image generation model includes receiving training data having multiple training images, image captions corresponding to the training images, and corresponding image features, each training image associated with one image caption and one or more image features. The method further includes performing a training process to condition the image generation model using the training images, the image captions, and the image features, resulting in a trained model that generates images conditioned to the image features. The image features include image properties that are extracted from pixels or regions of each training image and camera properties that are associated with each training image.

Abstract: A method for recommending results to a user from a search query is provided. The method includes receiving, in a search engine, a search query for a media file from a user, identifying a style preference of the user associated with a one or more media file attributes, based on a user-related search history, selecting, from a database, a one or more media files based on the search query and the style preference of the user, determining a style preference score for the one or more media files based on the media file attributes, and recommending to the user a top ranked media file based on the style preference score. A system including a memory storing instructions and one or more processors to execute the instructions to cause the system to perform the above method is also provided.

Abstract: An embodiment includes determining a style preference score for a new media file based on a recommendation model, wherein the new media file is selected by a user; and when the style preference score is lower than a pre-selected value: identifying a new attribute in the new media file that is not included in the model, updating a first coefficient in the recommendation model based on a value of the new attribute, scoring multiple media files in a user-related search history of the user with the model to form a ranked list based on the updated first coefficient, and updating a second coefficient in the recommendation model when the new media file is not at a top position of the ranked list, relative to the multiple media files in the user-related search history, and storing the updated recommendation model in a training database.

Abstract: A method for providing contributor recommendations to users of an online content marketplace is provided. The method includes retrieving an attribute of a user of an online content marketplace, identifying contributors of the online content marketplace based on the attribute of the user, scoring user-contributor pairs according to a dense embedding of the attribute of the user and a dense embedding for each of the contributors, providing, to the user, a list of the contributors ranked according to the score of the user-contributor pairs, receiving, from the user, a contributor selection, and providing, to the user, multiple content files from a gallery of the selected contributor, for use in a media application running on a client device with the first user. A system including a memory storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions to cause the system to perform the above method are also provided.

Abstract: A method for training a generative image model, including defining multiple sensitive categories and protected attributes associated with multiple training images, determining for a particular sensitive category a distribution of a protected attribute within the training images, and based on the distribution, calculating for each training image a corresponding image debiasing weight value associated with the protected attribute. The method further includes generating annotated training data including the training images, and for each training image, (1) the corresponding image debiasing weight value associated with the protected attribute and (2) a corresponding descriptive text caption. The method further includes performing a training process using the annotated training data to train a generative image model resulting in a trained model.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a composition capable of inhibiting the growth of tumoral cells of different histological origins and of activated endothelial cells. The components of said compositions are polypeptide fragments of the serralisins, corresponding to the C-terminal fragment, from the internal metionine trough the end of the molecule, which could be combined among them and optionally with the prodigiosins that potentiate the antitumoral effect of the composition. The prodigiosins in the composition could be at a concentration of 0.1-100 nM. The anti-proliferative action of this composition is mediated by apoptotic mechanism. It's “in vivo” administration has antitumoral, antiangiogenic and protective effect against malignant tumors.
