    Abstract: A user signs into an application via a user computing device at a merchant system location. The user computing device receives an identifier from a beacon device at the location to transmit to an account management system. The account management system transmits facial templates to the merchant camera device for users who are signed in to the application in range of the merchant beacon device. The user approaches a point of sale device to purchase a restricted product or service. The merchant camera device compares a captured facial image against the received facial templates to identify the user. A merchant POS device operator, after determining that the user is eligible for the restricted product or service based on account information of the user, selects a payment account of the user. The merchant POS device transmits transaction details to the account management system, which processes the transaction with an issuer system.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to reduce computational costs associated with convolutional neural networks. In addition, the present disclosure provides a class of efficient models termed “MobileNets” for mobile and embedded vision applications. MobileNets are based on a straight-forward architecture that uses depthwise separable convolutions to build light weight deep neural networks. The present disclosure further provides two global hyper-parameters that efficiently trade-off between latency and accuracy. These hyper-parameters allow the entity building the model to select the appropriately sized model for the particular application based on the constraints of the problem. MobileNets and associated computational cost reduction techniques are effective across a wide range of applications and use cases.

    Abstract: A merchant and a user register with a payment processing system, which establishes a facial template based on a user image. The user signs into a payment application via a user computing device, which receives an identifier from a merchant beacon device to transmit to the payment processing system. The payment processing system transmits facial templates to the merchant camera device for other users who are also signed in to the payment application in range of the merchant beacon device. The merchant camera device compares a captured facial image against the received facial templates to identify the user. A merchant POS device operator selects an account of the user. The merchant POS device transmits transaction details to the payment processing system, which processes the transaction with an issuer system. The payment processing system receives an approval of the transaction authorization request and transmits a receipt to the merchant POS device.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an object embedding system. In one aspect, a method comprises providing selected images as input to the object embedding system and generating corresponding embeddings, wherein the object embedding system comprises a thumbnailing neural network and an embedding neural network. The method further comprises backpropagating gradients based on a loss function to reduce the distance between embeddings for same instances of objects, and to increase the distance between embeddings for different instances of objects.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting objects in a video are provided. A method can include inputting a video comprising a plurality of frames into an interleaved object detection model comprising a plurality of feature extractor networks and a shared memory layer. For each of one or more frames, the operations can include selecting one of the plurality of feature extractor networks to analyze the one or more frames, analyzing the one or more frames by the selected feature extractor network to determine one or more features of the one or more frames, determining an updated set of features based at least in part on the one or more features and one or more previously extracted features extracted from a previous frame stored in the shared memory layer, and detecting an object in the one or more frames based at least in part on the updated set of features.
