In various embodiments, a model trainer application trains a machine learning model with improved identity robustness. The model trainer application first processes images of faces using a trained face recognition model to generate a proxy representation of an identity of the individual in each image. Representations of individuals with similar faces lie in the same neighborhoods within a proxy identity space. The model trainer application trains a machine learning model to perform a task relating to faces while considering the accuracy of each identity proxy neighborhood. The model trainer assigns different weights to each image sample in a neighborhood based on the number of samples with the same output class in that neighborhood. The assigned weights can then be used to compute a relatively unbiased identity loss function that is used to train the machine learning model to perform the task relating to faces while being robust to identity features.

In various embodiments, alpha channels are determined for images. In some embodiments, an image is captured using foreground lighting of a particular color and a background having a complement color. The image is pre-processed to correct for color crosstalk. The complement color in the pre-processed image is converted to grayscale to generate a holdout matte, which can be inverted to obtain the alpha channel (i.e., matte) that indicates pixels of the image belonging to the foreground and/or background. Bounce light is also removed by subtracting the bounce light, which can be determined during calibration, multiplied by the holdout matte. Then, a trained machine learning model can be applied to convert a foreground of the image having the particular color into a colorized foreground image that also includes the complement color. In addition, the image and corresponding alpha channel can be used to train a machine learning model to predict an alpha channel given an image.

TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING DIRECTIONAL INTRA PREDICTION WHEN ENCODING MEDIA CONTENT
In various embodiments, a directional intra prediction application encodes video or other media content. The directional intra prediction application transposes a left reference column of samples associated with a first portion of content to generate a left reference row of samples. The directional intra prediction application computes a transposed rightward predicted tile of samples based on a prediction angle and the left reference row of samples. The directional intra prediction application transposes the transposed rightward predicted tile to generate a rightward predicted tile of samples. The directional intra prediction application generates a predicted tile of samples for the first portion of content based on a downward predicted tile of samples and the rightward predicted tile of samples.

H04N 19/174 - Methods or arrangements for coding, decoding, compressing or decompressing digital video signals using adaptive coding characterised by the coding unit, i.e. the structural portion or semantic portion of the video signal being the object or the subject of the adaptive coding the unit being an image region, e.g. an object the region being a slice, e.g. a line of blocks or a group of blocks
89.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING DIGITAL VIDEO CLIPS THAT RESPOND TO ABSTRACT SEARCH QUERIES
The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include implementations that automatically generate and train a video clip classifier model to identify video clips that respond to a specific search query for a desired depiction that can include abstract, context-dependent, and/or subjective terms. For example, the methods and systems described herein generate and update a digital content understanding graphical user interface to facilitate the process of generating a corpus of training digital video clips, training a video clip classifier model with the training digital video clips, and applying the video clip classifier model to new digital video clips. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
The disclosed computer-implemented method includes accessing media frame generation input events produced as part of a multimedia application on a media server, selecting at least one media frame that is to be rendered according to the media frame generation input events, determining graphics processing capabilities of a client device on which the selected media frame is to be rendered, and generating a render command for the selected media frame based on the determined graphics processing capabilities of the client device. The render command includes contextual graphics information and graphics processing unit (GPU) pipeline information for use in rendering the selected media frame on the client device. The method also includes transmitting the generated render command to the client device to initiate rendering of the selected media frame using the contextual graphics information and the GPU pipeline information. Various other methods, systems, and computerreadable media are also disclosed.
A63F 13/355 - Performing operations on behalf of clients with restricted processing capabilities, e.g. servers transform changing game scene into an encoded video stream for transmitting to a mobile phone or a thin client
A63F 13/77 - Game security or game management aspects involving data related to game devices or game servers, e.g. configuration data, software version or amount of memory
