  • Publication number: 20250086860
    Abstract: Knowledge edit techniques for text-to-image models and other generative machine learning models are described. In an example, a location is identified within a text-to-image model by a model edit system. The location is configured to influence generation of a visual attribute by a text-to-image model as part of a digital image. An edited text-to-image model is formed by editing the text-to-image model based on the location. The edit causes a change to the visual attribute in generating a subsequent digital image by the edited text-to-image model. The subsequent digital image is generated as having the change to the visual attribute by the edited text-to-image model.

  • Patent number: 12147499
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve using a machine-learning tool to generate metadata identifying segments and topics for text within a document. For instance, in some embodiments, a text processing system obtains input text and applies a segmentation-and-labeling model to the input text. The segmentation-and-labeling model is trained to generate a predicted segment for the input text using a segmentation network. The segmentation-and-labeling model is also trained to generate a topic for the predicted segment using a pooling network of the model to the predicted segment. The output of the model is usable for generating metadata identifying the predicted segment and the associated topic.

  • Patent number: 11978272
    Abstract: Adapting a machine learning model to process data that differs from training data used to configure the model for a specified objective is described. A domain adaptation system trains the model to process new domain data that differs from a training data domain by using the model to generate a feature representation for the new domain data, which describes different content types included in the new domain data. The domain adaptation system then generates a probability distribution for each discrete region of the new domain data, which describes a likelihood of the region including different content described by the feature representation. The probability distribution is compared to ground truth information for the new domain data to determine a loss function, which is used to refine model parameters. After determining that model outputs achieve a threshold similarity to the ground truth information, the model is output as a domain-agnostic model.

  • Patent number: 11886815
    Abstract: One example method involves operations for a processing device that include receiving, by a machine learning model trained to generate a search result, a search query for a text input. The machine learning model is trained by receiving pre-training data that includes multiple documents. Pre-training the machine learning model by generating, using an encoder, feature embeddings for each of the documents included in the pre-training data. The feature embeddings are generated by applying a masking function to visual and textual features in the documents. Training the machine learning model also includes generating, using the feature embeddings, output features for the documents by concatenating the feature embeddings and applying a non-linear mapping to the feature embeddings. Training the machine learning model further includes applying a linear classifier to the output features. Additionally, operations include generating, for display, a search result using the machine learning model based on the input.

  • Patent number: 11709915
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for classifying an input image utilizing a classification model conditioned by a generative model and/or self-supervision. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a generative model to generate a reconstructed image from an input image to be classified. In turn, the disclosed systems can combine the reconstructed image with the input image itself. Using the combination of the input image and the reconstructed image, the disclosed systems utilize a classification model to determine a classification for the input image. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can employ self-supervised learning to cause the classification model to learn discriminative features for better classifying images of both known classes and open-set categories.

  • Patent number: 11544503
    Abstract: A domain alignment technique for cross-domain object detection tasks is introduced. During a preliminary pretraining phase, an object detection model is pretrained to detect objects in images associated with a source domain using a source dataset of images associated with the source domain. After completing the pretraining phase, a domain adaptation phase is performed using the source dataset and a target dataset to adapt the pretrained object detection model to detect objects in images associated with the target domain. The domain adaptation phase may involve the use of various domain alignment modules that, for example, perform multi-scale pixel/path alignment based on input feature maps or perform instance-level alignment based on input region proposals.
