Abstract: provided are systems and methods that use generative models (e.g., generative adversarial networks) to enable photorealistic text inpainting in augmented reality. one example application of the proposed systems is to perform augmented reality translation. for example, a user can operate an image capture device (e.g., camera, smartphone, etc.) to capture imagery of a real-world scene that includes real-world text (e.g., signage, restaurant menus, etc.). the real-world text can be translated into a different language. further, the captured imagery can be processed with a machine-learned generative model to produce an augmented image. the augmented image can depict the real-world scene with the real-world text removed. specifically, because a machine-learned generative model is used, the augmented image can appear significantly more realistic, for example versus an image in which the real-world text has simply been blocked using a box with a single color.

IPC Code(s): G06N3/0455
Abstract: provided are improved end-to-end self-supervised pre-training frameworks that leverage a combination of contrastive and masked modeling loss terms. in particular, the present disclosure provides framework that combines contrastive learning and masked modeling, where the former trains the model to discretize input data (e.g., continuous signals such as continuous speech signals) into a finite set of discriminative tokens, and the latter trains the model to learn contextualized representations via solving a masked prediction task consuming the discretized tokens. in contrast to certain existing masked modeling-based pre-training frameworks which rely on an iterative re-clustering and re-training process or other existing frameworks which concatenate two separately trained modules, the proposed framework can enable a model to be optimized in an end-to-end fashion by solving the two self-supervised tasks (the contrastive task and masked modeling) simultaneously.

Abstract: a system and method are disclosed for identifying a plurality of past videos posted via a first group of channels, determining, for each channel of a second group, an average number of access requests that a future video to be posted via a respective channel is predicted to receive within a first time interval after posting, determining, for each channel of the second group, a plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests that the future video to be posted via the respective channel of the second group is predicted to receive within the first time interval, wherein each of the plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests is determined using an adjustment factor reflecting a number of access requests received by a past video posted via a respective channel of the first group, and determining whether the second group of channels satisfies a predetermined access criterion.

IPC Code(s): H04N23/68, H04N23/69, H04N23/90
Abstract: methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for multi-camera video stabilization. in some implementations, a video capture device has a first camera and a second camera. the video capture device provides a digital zoom capability permitting user-specified magnification changes within a digital zoom range during video recording. the video capture device is configured to use video data from different cameras over different portions of the digital zoom range. the video capture device can process image data captured using the second camera by applying a set of transformations including (i) a first transformation to a canonical reference space for the second camera, (ii) a second transformation to a canonical reference space for the first camera, and (iii) a third transformation to apply electronic image stabilization to image data in the canonical reference space for the first camera.
