    Abstract: A methodology for training a machine learning model to generate color-neutral input face images is described. For each training face image from a training dataset that is used for training the model, the training system generates an input face image, which has the color and lighting of a randomly selected image from the set of color source images, and which has facial features and expression of a face object from the training face image. Because, during training, the machine learning model is “confused” by changing the color and lighting of a training face image to a randomly selected different color and lighting, the trained machine learning model generates a color neutral embedding representing facial features from the training face image.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein save ephemeral media content to a conversation thread between two users who are bidirectional connections on a social media platform. The systems and methods receive, on a first device associated with a first user, media content item from a second device associated with a second user, display the received media content item on the first user device, and while causing display of the received media content item, receive a selection from the first user device. In response to receiving the selection, the systems and methods save the media content item to a conversation thread between the first user and the second user and display an indication that the media content item is saved within the conversation thread.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating voice notes. In one embodiment, a messaging application implemented on a first participant computing device, receives a request to send a voice message to a second participant computing device in a communication session. In response to receiving the request, the messaging application selects a voice modification effect. The messaging application receives input to begin recording the voice message. While the voice message is being recorded, the messaging application receives speech input, modifies the speech input based on the voice modification effect in real time, and continuously updates an audio file with the modified speech input. In response to receiving input to terminate recording the voice message, the messaging application provides a first option to playback the audio file and a second option to send the audio file as the voice message to the second participant computing device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that access relationship data of a first user of an interaction system to identify a second user of the interaction system associated with the first user, cause presentation of identification information for the second user within an interaction interface and, responsive to identifying an event pertaining to the second user, cause presentation of a call-to-action graphical element associated with identification information of the second user within the interaction interface. Responsive to detecting user selection of the call-to-action graphical element, the methods and systems invoke an interaction function to facilitate an interaction between the first user and the second user. The interaction function includes at least one of a communication function enabling the first user to communicate digital content to the second user using the interaction system, and an augmentation function enabling the first user to augment the digital content using an augmentation graphical feature.

    Abstract: A content request is received from a user device of a viewing user of an interaction system. An interaction application executing at the user device presents a viewing user interface that includes a content zone and an interaction zone. A third-party content item is presented in the content zone. The interaction zone comprises a first interaction subzone located in a lower section of the viewing user interface, outside of the content zone. The first interaction subzone includes a user-selectable interaction element. The interaction zone further comprises a second interaction subzone positioned adjacent to the first interaction subzone in the lower section of the viewing user interface. The second interaction subzone is located inside of the content zone and includes a user-selectable context element. Responsive to detecting an interaction gesture directed at the interaction zone, the interaction application automatically transitions from a viewing state to an interaction state.
