  • Publication number: 20240160927
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing multiple tasks with a single artificial intelligence model that can include training a supernet model for an application by splitting the application into tasks, and splitting the supernet model into subnets. The methods and systems can further assign the tasks computing budgets, and match the tasks to subnets by matching the computing budget of the tasks to the computing capacity of the subnets. Further, the methods and systems can perform the tasks with matching subnets to produce parameters that are used by the supernet to perform the application. The supernet combines all of the task to produce a model for the application and the supernet retains weights for the tasks to be used in subsequent applications.

  • Patent number: 11947626
    Abstract: A method for improving face recognition from unseen domains by learning semantically meaningful representations is presented. The method includes obtaining face images with associated identities from a plurality of datasets, randomly selecting two datasets of the plurality of datasets to train a model, sampling batch face images and their corresponding labels, sampling triplet samples including one anchor face image, a sample face image from a same identity, and a sample face image from a different identity than that of the one anchor face image, performing a forward pass by using the samples of the selected two datasets, finding representations of the face images by using a backbone convolutional neural network (CNN), generating covariances from the representations of the face images and the backbone CNN, the covariances made in different spaces by using positive pairs and negative pairs, and employing the covariances to compute a cross-domain similarity loss function.

  • Publication number: 20240078816
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a neural network to predict object categories without manual annotation is provided. The method includes feeding training datasets including at least images and data annotations to an object detection neural network, converting, by a text prompter, the data annotations into natural text inputs, converting, by a text embedder, the natural text inputs into embeddings, minimizing objective functions during training to adjust parameters of the object detection neural network, and predicting, by the object detection neural network, objects within images and videos.
