Abrégé
In some embodiments, a method generates a first representation of a first image including a first facial identity and generates an identity representation from a second image that describes a second facial identity of the second image. The identity representation is mapped to a set of low-rank adaptation weights. The method adapts the first representation to an adapted first representation using the set of low-rank adaptation weights that are applied to a layer in a model. Decoder input values are generated based on the adapted first representation. The method performs decoding using the decoder input values to generate an output image. The output image swaps the first facial identity of the first image with the second facial identity of the second image..

A method for generating an animation for an animatronic based on one or more creative requirements where the generated animation may imitate one or more input motions and is limited by the one or more creative requirements. The generated animation may then be retargeted onto the animatronic based on mechanical constraints, such that the animation is physically feasible on the animatronic. In some instances, the animation may be generated based on received animation source content performed by an actor that defines one or more input motions. The generation of the animation is done by, for example, a generative AI model, or by imitation learning. Additionally, the method may be performed in real-time. Associated systems and methods are also disclosed.
A method includes determining an orientation of a mechanically animated surface relative to one or more projectors configured to project content onto the mechanically animated surface, dynamically rendering the content based on one or more parameters derived from the orientation of the mechanically animated surface relative to the one or more projectors, and presenting the content on the mechanically animated surface using the one or more projectors.

Abrégé
In some embodiments, a method analyzes a first sample of a first audio signal to determine a first representation in a space. A plurality of second samples for a second audio signal is analyzed to determine a plurality of second representations in the space. The method compares the first representation and the plurality of second representations in the space to select a second representation. An offset is determined between the first sample and a second sample that is associated with the second representation. The offset is output.

Abrégé
The computational requirements of an encoder of an autoencoder can be reduced by pre-processing the images using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In one embodiment, the encoder uses a multi-level DWT to extract multiscale information from the input images. If using a learned encoder, performing the multi-level DWT enables the encoder to have less complex feature extraction and aggregation networks (e.g., convolution neural networks (CNNs)) than a standard encoder for an autoencoder. This means the VAE can execute faster, use less computational resources (such as GPU memory), and use less power than traditional VAEs. If using a non-learned encoder, the result of the multi-level DWT can be used as the latent code without using feature extraction and aggregation networks.

Abrégé
Techniques are disclosed for re-aging images of faces and three-dimensional (3D) geometry representing faces. In some embodiments, an image of a face, an input age, and a target age, are input into a re-aging model, which outputs a re-aging delta image that can be combined with the input image to generate a re-aged image of the face. In some embodiments, 3D geometry representing a face is re-aged using local 3D re-aging models that each include a blendshape model for finding a linear combination of sample patches from geometries of different facial identities and generating a new shape for the patch at a target age based on the linear combination. In some embodiments, 3D geometry representing a face is re-aged by performing a shape-from-shading technique using re-aged images of the face captured from different viewpoints, which can optionally be constrained to linear combinations of sample patches from local blendshape models.
A system includes a hardware processor configured to execute software code to receive interaction data identifying an action and personality profiles corresponding respectively to multiple participant cohorts in the action, generate, using the interaction data, an interaction graph of behaviors of the participant cohorts in the action, simulate, using a behavior model, participation of each of the participant cohorts in the action to provide a predicted interaction graph, and compare the predicted and generated interaction graphs to identify a similarity score for the predicted interaction graph relative to the generated interaction graph. When the similarity score satisfies a similarity criterion, the software code is executed to train, using the behavior model, an artificial intelligence character for interactions. When the similarity score fails to satisfy the similarity criterion, the software code is executed to modify the behavior model based on one or more differences between the predicted and generated interaction graphs.

Abrégé
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating a quad-dominant mesh of an object. The technique includes generating, via at least one of a first set of machine learning models, a three-dimensional (3D) triangle mesh of an object based on one or more two-dimensional input images of the object, iteratively learning, via a second set of machine learning models, an orientation field and a position field associated with a set of vertices included in the 3D triangle mesh, extracting a quad-dominant mesh associated with the object from the input triangle mesh based on the orientation field and the position field, wherein the quad-dominant mesh comprises one or more quadrilaterals, rendering an image based on the quad-dominant mesh; and optimizing the quad-dominant mesh by propagating a loss generated based on the image to the set of machine learning models.

A system for performing context-based management of social agent interactions includes processing hardware and a memory storing a software code. The processing hardware executes the software code to detect the presence of an interaction partner, identify a present state of an interaction with the interaction partner, and to determine, based on the present state, a first score for each of multiple interactive expressions for use in initiating or continuing the interaction. The processing hardware further executes the software code to predict a state change of the interaction based on each of the interactive expressions to provide multiple predicted state changes corresponding respectively to the multiple interactive expressions, to determine, using the predicted state changes, a second score for each of the interactive expressions, and to select, using the first scores and the second scores, at least one of the interactive expressions to initiate or continue the interaction.

A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code, a video camera communicatively coupled to the computing platform, and a user device communicatively coupled to the computing platform, the user device including a position/location (P/L) detection unit. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) map of a physical venue, identify one or more object representations within the physical venue, and detect, using the video camera, a collision of a light beam emitted by the user device with one of the one or more object representations. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to identify, based on the 3D map and an orientation data sampled from the P/L detection unit, the user device having emitted the light beam colliding with the one of the one or more object representations.

A restraint verification platform may obtain video data video data of a passenger in a passenger seat. The restraint verification platform may analyze the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats. The restraint verification platform may detect, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, the passenger in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat. The restraint verification platform may determine, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger. The restraint verification platform may perform an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger.
