  • Publication number: 20250156488
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to determining user post items related to search content using user context data. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes inputting search content to a first content encoder to generate a first embedding that semantically represents the search content. A plurality of user post items and a plurality of associated creator context data items are input to one or more second content encoders to generate a corresponding plurality of second embeddings that semantically represent the user post items and the creator context data items. A respective similarity measure is determined between the first embedding and one or more of the second embeddings, and a result set of user post item(s) are output that are associated with the highest similarity of the second embeddings to the first embedding.

  • Patent number: 12236322
    Abstract: Implementations relate to training a model that can be used to process values for defined features, where the values are specific to a user account, to generate a predicted user measure that reflects both popularity and quality of the user account. The model is trained based on losses that are each generated as a function of both a corresponding generated popularity measure and a corresponding generated quality measure of a corresponding training instance. Accordingly, the model can be trained to generate, based on values for a given user account, a single measure that reflects both quality and popularity of the given user account. Implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to utilizing such predicted user measures to restrict provisioning of content items that are from user accounts having respective predicted user measures that fail to satisfy a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230401382
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for incremental training of machine learning models to adapt to changes in an underlying data distribution. One example setting in which the techniques described herein may be beneficial is for incrementally training natural language models to enable the models to have or adapt to a dynamically changing vocabulary. Incremental training is provided as a feasible and inexpensive way of adapting machine learning models to evolving vocabulary without having to retrain them from scratch.

  • Publication number: 20230222285
    Abstract: Systems and methods for document processing that can process and understand the layout, text size, text style, and multimedia of a document can generate more accurate and informed document representations. The layout of a document paired with text size and style can indicate what portions of a document are possibly more important, and the understanding of that importance can help with understanding of the document. Systems and methods utilizing a hierarchical framework that processes the block-level and the document-level of a document can capitalize on these indicators to generate a better document representation.
