  • Patent number: 12770314
    Abstract: In implementations of techniques and systems for digital hair generation using a parametric hair model, a processing device receives a shape parameter and a style parameter. The shape parameter represents the overall shape of a hair model, and the style parameter represents local strand details. Based on the shape parameter, a machine-learning model generates guide strands that sparsely represent the hair model. The machine-learning model also generates wisps based on the style parameter. The wisps indicate local strand details for the hair model. The processing device interpolates the wisps onto the guide strands to generate the digital hair model.

  • Patent number: 12770000
    Abstract: The method provides for analyzing input and output connections of layers of a received neural network model configured for vertical federated learning. An undirected graph of nodes is generated in which a node having two or more child nodes includes an aggregation operation, based on the analysis of the model in which a model output corresponds to a node of the graph. A layer of the model is identified in which a sum of lower layer outputs are computed. The identified model layer is partitioned into a first part applied respectively to the multiple entities and a second part applied as an aggregator of the output of the first part. The aggregation operation is performed between pairs of lower layer outputs, and multiple forward and backward passes of the neural network model are performed that include secure aggregation and maintain model partitioning in forward and backward passes.

  • Publication number: 20260253298
    Abstract: Techniques for shape aware descriptive movement synthesis are described. In an example, a processing device is operable to receive a description of a body motion and a body, used as input to a trained machine learning system that generates motion data from the description. A shape parameter and a plurality of motion tokens are jointly predicted by the machine learning system based on the description. A plurality of discrete motion features is obtained from applying a finite scalar de-quantization to the motion tokens. Using the machine learning system, the processing device generates a plurality of shape conditioned motion features by integrating a shape feature projected from the shape parameter with the discrete motion features. The shape conditioned motion features are decoded by the machine learning system into the motion data, which models the motion with specific variations caused by the shape.
