Publication number: 20260162412Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for automatically identifying a checkpoint of a machine learning model for deployment. A plurality of checkpoints are generated during training the machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained on a set of training images. A plurality of subject images is generated by each of the plurality of checkpoints. Subject similarity and global difference between images in each pair of images are computed. Each pair of images comprises one of the set of training images and one of the plurality of subject images generated by each of the plurality of checkpoints. Image generation qualities of the plurality of checkpoints are evaluated based on the subject similarity and the global difference. The checkpoint of the machine learning model for deployment is automatically identified based on the evaluated image generation qualities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: June 11, 2026Inventors: Hao Kang, Xin Lu, Yumin Jia

Patent number: 11676283Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generate refined segmentation masks for digital visual media items. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a segmentation refinement neural network to generate an initial segmentation mask for a digital visual media item.
