  • Patent number: 12340584
    Abstract: A media application segments a library of media associated with a user account into episodes, wherein each episode is associated with a corresponding time period. The media application generates, using an event machine-learning model, an event signal that indicates a likelihood that an event occurred in each episode, wherein the event machine-learning model is a classifier that receives the media as input. The media application generates an event significance score for each episode. The media application determines one or more events from the episodes based on the event signal and a corresponding event significance score exceeding a threshold event significance value. The media application provides a user interface that includes corresponding media from the one or more events.

  • Patent number: 11829404
    Abstract: Some implementations related to archiving of functional images. In some implementations, a method includes accessing images and determining one or more functional labels corresponding to each of the images and one or more confidence scores corresponding to the functional labels. A functional image score is determined for each of the images based on the functional labels having a corresponding confidence score that meets a respective threshold for the functional labels. In response to determining that the functional image score meets a functional image score threshold, a functional image signal is provided that indicates that one or more of the images that meet the functional image score threshold are functional images. The functional images are determined to be archived, and are archived by associating an archive attribute with the functional images such that functional images having the archive attribute are excluded from display in views of the images.
