  • Publication number: 20240135511
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For example, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems utilize generative machine learning models to create modified digital images portraying human subjects. In particular, the disclosed systems generate modified digital images by performing infill modifications to complete a digital image or human inpainting for portions of a digital image that portrays a human. Moreover, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems perform reposing of subjects portrayed within a digital image to generate modified digital images. In addition, the disclosed systems in some embodiments perform facial expression transfer and facial expression animations to generate modified digital images or animations.

  • Publication number: 20240135672
    Abstract: An image generation system implements a multi-branch GAN to generate images that each express visually similar content in a different modality. A generator portion of the multi-branch GAN includes multiple branches that are each tasked with generating one of the different modalities. A discriminator portion of the multi-branch GAN includes multiple fidelity discriminators, one for each of the generator branches, and a consistency discriminator, which constrains the outputs generated by the different generator branches to appear visually similar to one another. During training, outputs from each of the fidelity discriminators and the consistency discriminator are used to compute a non-saturating GAN loss. The non-saturating GAN loss is used to refine parameters of the multi-branch GAN during training until model convergence. The trained multi-branch GAN generates multiple images from a single input, where each of the multiple images depicts visually similar content expressed in a different modality.

  • Publication number: 20240098047
    Abstract: In a group chat-based instant messaging method, a message is received from a first messaging application of a first user in a first messaging group. The first messaging application is associated with a first messaging service. When the message is to be announced to all group members of the first messaging group, whether the first user is authorized to send the message is determined based on identity information of the first user. Based on the first user being authorized, protocol conversion on the message is performed based on a second messaging protocol of a second messaging service to output the message in a first preset announcement style for messages announced to all group members. The converted message is transmitted, via a second messaging server, to a second messaging application corresponding to one of the plurality of group members in the first messaging group.

  • Patent number: 11934958
    Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that utilize channel pruning and knowledge distillation to generate a compact noise-to-image GAN. For example, the disclosed systems prune less informative channels via outgoing channel weights of the GAN. In some implementations, the disclosed systems further utilize content-aware pruning by utilizing a differentiable loss between an image generated by the GAN and a modified version of the image to identify sensitive channels within the GAN during channel pruning. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize knowledge distillation to learn parameters for the pruned GAN to mimic a full-size GAN.

  • Patent number: 11880957
    Abstract: One example method involves operations for receiving a request to transform an input image into a target image. Operations further include providing the input image to a machine learning model trained to adapt images. Training the machine learning model includes accessing training data having a source domain of images and a target domain of images with a target style. Training further includes using a pre-trained generative model to generate an adapted source domain of adapted images having the target style. The adapted source domain is generated by determining a rate of change for parameters of the target style, generating weighted parameters by applying a weight to each of the parameters based on their respective rate of change, and applying the weighted parameters to the source domain. Additionally, operations include using the machine learning model to generate the target image by modifying parameters of the input image using the target style.
