Abrégé

In accordance with techniques for controlling hallucinations in generated images, a generative image model receives an input image depicting an object and having a first background, and the generative image model produces a generated image depicting the object by replacing the first background with a second background. Further, a salient object detection model generates a first object mask and a second object mask. The first object mask defines a first positioning of the object within the input image, while the second object mask defines a second positioning of the object within the generated image. A hallucination metric capturing an amount of deformation introduced into the object by the generative image model is determined based on a comparison of the first object mask and the second object mask. In one or more implementations, the generated image is output based on the hallucination metric meeting a threshold.

Abrégé

A recommendation system leverages multi-target search to provide item listing recommendations and/or query suggestions. For a given input image with multiple objects, multi-target search uses object detection to detect each object, and stores complementary object data associating each object from the image. Additionally, a search of an item listing datastore is performed using each object from the image as a search query. Based on item listings returned as search results, complementary item listings data associating item listings is stored. In some configurations, the complementary item listings data is also used to train a machine learning model to predict complementary item listings for a given item listing. When an input item listing is received, item listing recommendations and/or query suggestions are determined for the input item listing using the complementary object data, the complementary item listing data, and/or the machine learning model.

Abrégé

Systems and methods for conducting a test on a third-party testing platform are provided. A networked system causes presentation of a setup user interface to a third-party user, whereby the setup user interface includes a field for indicating an attribute of a publication to be tested. The networked system receives, via the setup user interface, an indication of the attribute, a subject to be tested, and one or more test parameters. The networked system applies the attribute change to a first version of the publication to generate a second version of the publication. The first version is presented to a first subset of potential users and the second version is presented to a second subset of potential users. Interactions with both the first version and the second version are monitored and analyzed to determine results of the test. The results are then presented to the third-party user.

Abrégé

A query modality recommendation system provides recommendations to use a particular query modality based on one or more categories of search results for a search query. Upon receiving a search query in a first query modality at a search engine, the query modality recommendation system determines to recommend use of a second query modality based on one or more categories of the search results. For example, the first query modality may be a textual query and the second query modality may be an image query. In aspects, recommending use of the second query modality comprises comparing a first search performance of the one or more categories for the first query modality in historical search queries to a second search performance of the one or more categories for the second query modality in the historical search queries.

Abrégé

Systems, methods, and computer program products for identifying a candidate product in an electronic marketplace based on a visual comparison between candidate product image visual text content and input query image visual text content. Unlike conventional optical character recognition (OCR) based systems, embodiments automatically localize and isolate portions of a candidate product image and an input query image that each contain visual text content, and calculate a visual similarity measure between the respective portions. A trained neural network may be re-trained to more effectively find visual text content by using the localized and isolated visual text content portions as additional ground truths. The visual similarity measure serves as a visual search result score for the candidate product. Any number of images of any number of candidate products may be compared to an input query image to enable text-in-image based product searching without resorting to conventional OCR techniques.

Abrégé

Generating an access point certificate based on a graph that defines relationships between an access point and at least one domain is described. Relationship data describing how data is to be routed between an access point and domains is received by a certificate management system. The certificate management system generates a graph representing an access point and associated domains as nodes, with edges connecting various nodes to model relationships between the access point and the associated domains. Based on the graph, a certificate is generated that individually lists each domain associated with the access point and includes information describing data routing for the domain via the access point. The certificate excludes wildcard entries that represent multiple domains via a single entry. The certificate is used to control data communication traffic via the access point and is updated responsive to changes in in domain relationship data for the access point.

Abrégé

A machine may be configured to perform image evaluation of images depicting items for sale and to provide recommendations for improving the images depicting the items to increase the sales of the items depicted in the images. For example, the machine accesses a result of a user behavior analysis. The machine receives an image of an item from a user device. The machine per forms an image evaluation of the received image based on an analysis of the received image and the result of the user behavior analysis. The performing of the image evaluation may include determining a likelihood of a user engaging in a desired user behavior in relation to the received image. Then, the machine generates, based on the evaluation of the received image, an output that references the received image and indicates the likelihood of a user engaging in the desired behavior.

Abrégé

A method and a system for making contextual recommendations to users on a network-based system. For example, activity associated with a user interacting with a network-based system is tracked. Based, at least in part, on the tracked user activity on the network-based system, a recommendation relationship type is selected. The recommendation relationship type can be either a substitute relationship type or a complement relationship type. A recommended object can be selected based at least in part on the recommendation relationship type and a first object accessed by the user interacting with the network-based system. A recommendation can be generated for the recommended object for presentation to the user interacting with the network-based system.

Abrégé

Systems and methods are directed to authenticating items using deformation analysis. An authentication system receives a request to authenticate an item. In response, the authentication system accesses two images of the item, whereby a first image shows the item hanging without a weight load and a second image shows the item hanging with the weight load. An image analyzer analyzes the two images to determine deformation differences of the item between the two images. The authentication system then determines an authentication score for the item by applying the deformation differences to a machine learning model trained with training data derived from authentic and counterfeit items. Based on the authentication score transgressing an authenticity threshold, an indication of authenticity of the item is provided.
