  • Publication number: 20230222386
    Abstract: At least one label prediction model is trained, or learned, using training data that may comprise training instances that may be missing one or more labels. The at least one label prediction model may be used in identifying a content item's ground-truth label set comprising an indicator for each label in the label set indicating whether or not the label is applicable to the content item.

  • Publication number: 20200050941
    Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for embedding attributed sequence data. The attributed sequence data includes an attribute data part having a fixed number of attribute data elements and a sequence data part having a variable number of sequence data elements. An attribute network module includes a feedforward neural network configured to convert the attribute data part to an encoded attribute vector having a first number of attribute features. A sequence network module includes a recurrent neural network configured to convert the sequence data part to an encoded sequence vector having a second number of sequence features. In use, the machine learning system learns and outputs a fixed-length feature representation of input attributed sequence data which encodes dependencies between different attribute data elements, dependencies between different sequence data elements, and dependencies between attribute data elements and sequence data elements within the attributed sequence data.

  • Patent number: 10204090
    Abstract: System, method and architecture for providing improved visual recognition by modeling visual content, semantic content and an implicit social network representing individuals depicted in a collection of content, such as visual images, photographs, etc., which network may be determined based on co-occurrences of individuals represented by the content, and/or other data linking the individuals. In accordance with one or more embodiments, using images as an example, a relationship structure may comprise an implicit structure, or network, determined from co-occurrences of individuals in the images. A kernel jointly modeling content, semantic and social network information may be built and used in automatic image annotation and/or determination of relationships between individuals, for example.
